Loher Cashel, Stone ringfort in Iveragh Peninsula, Ireland.
The circular stone fortress measures 20 meters in diameter with outer walls reaching over 2 meters high and 3 meters thick, accessible through stairways.
Built during the 9th century AD, this fortified farmstead settlement contains evidence of earlier wooden buildings that preceded the current stone structures.
The architectural design reflects traditional Gaelic construction methods, featuring dry stone walls with rubble filling and a stone-lined entrance passage.
Located 3.9 kilometers northwest of Derrynane, the site requires appropriate footwear for walking on uneven terrain and exploring the ancient structures.
The interior reveals a large round house, a rectangular dwelling, and a discovered souterrain, indicating complex living arrangements of its former inhabitants.
