Staigue Fort
Parknasilla Road, Sneem, IrelandTel: +353 66 947 5288
Built as early as 1000BC, Staigue Fort is possibly the best-preserved ring fort in Ireland today. A massive structure, the walls are three feet (four metres) thick at the base and rise to a height of 18 feet (five and a half metres) in places. The fort's astonishingly good condition is a testament to how skilfully the stones were laid. There are ten flights of steps, built in an X shape, along the circular internal wall. These gave access to the ramparts, where soldiers once stood. There are two small rooms, one on the west side of the fort, the other on the south. A heritage centre detailing what is known about the fort is near the car park. Admission to the fort is free; Heritage Center admission is EUR2.50 for adults; EUR2 for children.
