Ringforts
In the townland of An Caiseal in County Donegal sits a ringfort, known locally as a rath, that forms part of Ireland's vast collection of early medieval settlements.
These circular earthwork enclosures, typically dating from the early Christian period between 500 and 1200 AD, once dotted the Irish countryside in their tens of thousands. This particular example represents the most common type of settlement from this era, when farming families built these defensive homesteads across the landscape.
