Known locally as Dœn Aonghasa, this is an large cliff-top fort the follows a rough D-shaped plan. The fort is enclosed by three semicircular stone ramparts including a series of defensive stones known as a 'Chevaux de Frise.' Excavations undergone in the early 20th century revealed that settlement on the site dated as far back as c. 1500 B.C. The slide shows an interior view of the fort with a number of men and women sitting a top its walls. The people can be seen wearing contemporary dress. In the right corner a photographer is slightly visible.
