Dun Aonghasa

Dún Aonghasa is a prehistoric hill fort (Iron age / Bronze age) on the Aran Islands. It is located on Inishmór, at the edge of a 100 metre high cliff.
The fort consists of three walls enclosing an area of 6 hectares.
Outside the third ring of walls lies a defensive system of stone slabs, known as a cheval de frise, planted in an upright position in the ground and still largely well-preserved.
It is a popular tourist attraction and an important archaeological site. It is a National Monument of Ireland .
