Caherconree, Stone fort and mountain peak in County Kerry, Ireland

Caherconree is a mountain of 835 metres in the Slieve Mish range, and its name also refers to an Iron Age stone promontory fort on its southwestern shoulder at 683 metres. The fort is enclosed on three sides by steep cliffs, with a 110-metre drystone wall and three broad terrace-like steps on its inner face.

Caherconree Promontory Fort is an Iron Age drystone fort on a southwest spur of the mountain, two-thirds of the way up at about 683 m. A 110 m wall encloses a triangular area of roughly two acres, with three broad terrace-like steps on its inner face; before restoration the wall stood up to about 3 m high in places. It is a protected National Monument.

The name Cathair Conraoi means "Cú Roí's stone fort", after Cú Roí mac Dáire, the legendary king of Munster. In the story Aided Con Roí, his captive Bláthnat signals Cú Chulainn to attack by pouring milk into the stream below the fort, now called the Finglas (an Fhionnghlaise, "the white stream").

You can reach the site through a hiking trail starting from the parking area on Bóthar na gCloch road on the Dingle Peninsula. The path is steep and can be slippery when wet, so wear proper footwear and choose dry weather for the best experience.

The fort sits at about 683 m on the mountain's southwestern shoulder, two-thirds of the way up, not on the summit; the summit at 835 m is reached from it. In the legend of Aided Con Roí, Bláthnat signalled Cú Chulainn by pouring milk into the stream now called the Finglas, whose source lies near the fort.
