Recenter Map To This Location

Some 7 kilometers farther south of Cahermacnaghten, you come to another ring fort, Ballykinvarga. You have to walk several hundred meters before you see the Iron-Age fort surrounded by its defensive, pointed stones known as chevaux de frise, a term derived from a military expression describing how Dutch Frisians used spikes to impede attackers. Ireland has three other such forts, of which the two most impressive are found on the Aran Islands.
