Caherconnell Ringfort Under The Spotlight At Festival Of Finn

We’re heading to North Clare, where history, heritage and community come together for Féile Finne/Festival of Finn in Corofin tonight. The opening night shines a spotlight on one of the region’s most remarkable archaeological sites, Caherconnell Stone Fort—a 1,000-year-old ringfort that has revealed extraordinary insights into Gaelic life, from international trade links to some of the earliest evidence of literacy in Ireland. Alan Morrissey was joined by Sean Davoren, Co-Founder of the Caherconnell Field School and Visitor Centre, and Declan Kelleher, Chairperson of Corofin Historical & Heritage Association, to talk about the fort, the festival, and why this corner of Clare continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
