Fairy fort / stone ringfort in CarrowkilleenFairy fort / stone ringfort · 729 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Carrowkilleen’s other cashel has two house sites inside, which means it had roommates in ancient times and they probably fought over the dishes. The drystone wall is collapsed, so imagine a very expensive renovation gone wrong. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to chew on while you speculate about the roommates.
