Built over 1,000 years ago. Caherconnell is the only fort in the Burren scientifically excavated and developed for tourism. Occupied as late as the 17th century, it is more than twice the size of the regular fort. Here in this circular theatre of the imagination, you can feel the depth of history, the presence of long dead generations. Learn about the lives they led and the stories they told in the shadow of the great stone fort. Recent excavations have yielded fascinating results placing Caherconnell on the map as a prominent archaeological site. The audiovisual presentation & graphic display areas deal with the unique history of the Burren tombs and monuments including Poulnabrone Dolmen. Ireland’s first stone fort virtual tour is an unprecedented re-creation of life, customs and design of the fort. As you follow the stone pathways, its secrets are beautifully relayed by an audio tour or map with field notes by Paul Gosling M.I.A.I. The Mountain Haven Café provides a welcome break, where the explorer can savour delicious farm fresh food, home baking and freshly ground coffee.
