Staigue Fort

Prehistoric cashel or ring fort, 3 km/1 mi northeast of Castlecove, County Kerry, Republic of Ireland. Dating from 1500 BC, it consists of a circular dry-stone wall, 35 m/115 ft in diameter, surrounded by a large bank and ditch. The walls, 4–1.5 m/13–5 ft thick and originally 5.5 m/19 ft high, contain steps leading to a platform overlooking the coast. The fort is considered to be the best-preserved cashel in Ireland.
