Dún Aonghasa, perched dramatically on the edge of a 100-metre-high cliff on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands, is one of Ireland’s most awe-inspiring archaeological sites. Believed to have been built during the Bronze Age, this ancient fort consists of three massive dry-stone walls and a "chevaux-de-frise," a complex series of defensive spikes aimed at deterring invaders. Offering breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean, Dún Aonghasa is not only a testament to the ingenuity of ancient Irish engineering but also serves as a window into the soul-stirring natural beauty and enduring legends of Ireland. This historic site attracts visitors who come to marvel at its ancient structures and the spectacular surrounding landscapes, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring Irish heritage and natural beauty.
