Cahercommane

Cahercommane (also called Cahercommaun) is a stone ringfort in County Clare, Ireland.

The fort has three stone walls built on the edge of a cliff in the Burren. The inner wall is very large and used thousands of tons of stone.

Archaeologists dug at the site in 1934. They found old houses, underground rooms, and objects like weaving tools and a silver brooch.

The fort was first used around the 5th or 6th century and was important in the 9th century.
