Here is a spin up to Knocknashee, one of Irelands biggest Hill Forts at 700 x 320 metres.
The fort is 700 metres long and 320 metres wide and is enclosed by two earth and stone ramparts covering an area of 53 acres.
It has 2 cairns, one is open, the second one was never opened. Remains of about 50 huts can be seen. After excavations in 2017, they found out that the roundhouses are from the late Bronze Age, about 3,000 years old, so they came 2,000 years after the cairns.
