The Western Stone Forts Project

The Western Stone Forts Project was initiated to study a distinctive group of large stone forts located along the western seaboard of Ireland. The majority of these forts are concentrated on the Aran Islands County Galway, in the Burren Co. Clare and on the Dingle and Iveragh peninsulas Co. Kerry. Excavations associated with the project were carried out over four seasons in the period 1992 - 1995 and focussed mainly on the stone fort of Dún Aonghasa, Inis Mór, Aran Islands.
