Review:
Several prehistoric hill forts stand on the Aran Islands in County Galway, and Dun Aonghasa is the most famous of these archeological treasures. It is located on the island of Inishmore and stands on the edge of a tall cliff. The exact date the fort was built is unknown, however it is thought that the first structures on the site were constructed around 1100 BC. The walls of the fort have been restored up to 6 meters high and feature stairways, wall walks, and chambers. The site has a small museum, which tells the story of the fort’s history and possible uses.
