CREGGANKEEL FORT

Located on Inisheer island, archaeologists have called this fort, Creggankeel Fort which derives from ‘Creagán Caol’ meaning ‘Narrow Outcrop’.

The surrounding fields show a structure that is almost identical in form to a ringfort at Clogher in Co. Sligo. There are a number of blocked entrances in the wall that probably lead to the souterrains.

The fort is also the location of the Cill na Seacht nIníon (The Chapel of the Seven Daughters), as later ecclesiastical structures were added to the fort.
