  • Caherconnell Stone Fort & Sheepdog Demonstrations, Caherconnell, Ireland
    Caherconnell Stone Fort, situated 1km south of Poulnabrone dolmen in the heart of the Burren Ireland, offers you the opportunity to visit an exceptionally well - preserved example of the stone forts or stone ringforts which are to be found in the Burren Ireland. The fort is in its original state. Its position, overlooking virtually all-surrounding areas suggests a defensive settlement. Archaeological excavations take place each summer in association with 'CAFS' - Caherconnell Archaeological Field School- an International Field School accredited by NUI, Galway. As well as a trip to the Fort, visitors can also take in the Burren's Premier Sheepdog Demonstrations at Caherconnell, enjoying the combined skills of the farmer and the border collie as they work in the natural habitat of the Burren.

Incredible!! The sheepdog demonstration was amazing and then the tour of the stone fort was informative and really interesting! Both James, the Guide, and the gentleman who ran the dogs were so friendly. Caherconnell should not be missed! Family run attraction in a spectacular setting!!

We absolutely loved the sheepdog demo and learned so much about life as a working dog. Getting to hold a sheep and pet the dogs was the icing on the cake. Beautiful gift shop and cafe were a pleasant surprise! Overall wonderful experience, highly recommended to combine with a visit to Poulnabroune portal tomb which is one minute up the road.

Fun afternoon and the kids were so interested. The guy doing the demo chatted at the end to everyone about the dogs, our own pets, giving tips and made it very special for he children. We got to hold the lambs and pet the dogs. The cookies and brownies were delicious in the cafe. A sort spin from the Burren for more lovely photos. A really enjoyable day . Well done to Caherconnell crew ????
