Ring Fort Near Kilcar Co. Donegal

A ring fort from late pre-christian or early christian times near Kilcar Village, Donegal. Tawny Bay is in the background. The photo was taken from the coast road between Kilcar and Carrick. These are also called fairy forts and it is said that fairies may be seen dancing in them under a full moon. I did not see any fairies, but maybe I was there at the wrong time. The remains of an old stone pier are on the far side of the bay.

I also photographed a ring fort in County Kerry in May 2007.
