Caherconree, Stone fort and mountain peak in County Kerry, Ireland
The Caherconree summit reaches 835 meters in elevation and features ancient stone walls stretching 110 meters in length and 4 meters in thickness.
The promontory fort dates to the Late Bronze Age between 1500-500 BCE, constructed at a strategic position with natural cliff defenses on three sides.
The name Cathair Con Raoi refers to Cú Roí mac Daire, a legendary king of Munster who, according to mythology, could make the fortress spin at night.
Visitors can access the site through a 4-kilometer return trail starting from the parking area on Bóthar na gCloch road in the Dingle Peninsula.
The fort stands as the second-highest mountain in the Slieve Mish range and ranks as Ireland's twentieth-highest peak on the Arderin scale.
