Built as a pagan temple in the 5th century BC, later Christians adopted the fort . Was restored in the 1870s.

Ogham stone
The earliest Irish script, Ogham, dates from about AD300. The notches correspond to Roman letters like a form of Morse Code. Unfortunately the translation on the plaque nearby for this stone was written in Irish. So we have no idea what it says!
