Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This ring fort made for an interesting stop. There is some parking available and it’s a short walk to both ring forts. There is not much information at the sight, just a small plaque. Cahergal has really great walls and Leacanabuaile shows better how the set up was inside.

A lot cooler than I thought it would be! It's a short walk and not well signposted but you can see it from the road and there is a small parking lot. It amazing to climb up to the top and see a castle in the distance. Def worth a stop on the Ring of Kerry.

When you look up at the stonework you can only marvel at the skills of the past. Good photo opportunity

Stunning fort! The highlight however is the stunning, charismatic Jibbles, a buxom sheep who is as friendly as a wee dog, who guards the front door. Jibbles likes to be hand fed grass, head scratches, and will lift a fire leg to paw at you if you aren’t paying enough attention. She is a sweet angel and potentially a faery sheep.

Just a ten minute detour off the ring of Kerry drive and well worth a quick stop. The fort was much bigger than I expected and well preserved. You can climb up the walls to get good views of the local area and admire the dry stone walls. Free car park about a ten minute walk away.

Wow, I was not expecting to come across such an amazing stone fort near Cahersiveen because I hadn't read anything about it before. Cross the long narrow bridge just past the heritage centre and turn left at the other side. About a mile further on, you will come to a small carpark and you can see the stone fort from there. It's in very good condition , a great thick stone wall with steps up to the top on the inside. They say that it was the residence of a rich landowner in the distant past. Great views all around - and it's free to visit!

Such an amazing feature and beautifully restored ancient stone fort. Huge in scale and so impressive to see up close.
Even more amazing is how quiet it always is. This is such a hidden treasure and have never seen many people here at all.

My children had a great time exploring and climbing this fort. I was petrified as the drop on the other side of the high wall was.....high!
