Summary edit
| Description |
English: Staigue Fort Staigue stone fort is a partly ruined round stone fort, located three miles west of Sneem, on the Iveragh peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland. Dating is difficult, but the fort is thought to have been built during the late iron age, probably somewhere between 300 and 400 AD, as a defensive stronghold for a local lord or king. Staigue Fort represents a considerable feat in engineering and construction. It was built without use of mortar, using undressed stones.
There is evidence that copper was excavated in the surrounding area and appears to be a place of worship, an observatory and a place of defence. Honesty donations of one euro are placed in a tin can at the gate. |
