Going to Dunbeg Fort

I like how easy it is to explore county Kerry. The hordes of tourists which descend upon the county have helped improve the tourism infrastructure here in the county. I am talking specifically about signage. A lot of the important places here are well signposted and it is not even necessary to use a map here. The important thing here it not to drive fast and just take it slow and just watch out for the signs. Another one of the signs which I saw points to Dunbeg Fort. I have been to a few forts in Ireland, I think I have a very good idea how this Dunbeg Fort is.

As one would expect, the forts here in county Kerry are impressive stone fortresses. The locals have acquired the skill to manipulate stone for their needs, including making a roof from stone. Stone is quite plentiful here and to protect themselves from the elements, this type of material is needed. There is a carpark beside along the main road near the fort. There is a minimal entrance fee to the fort. From there is it a short walk to the actual fort. Much as I already know what to expect here, I went and had a look anyway.
