  • 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. The sheepdog demonstration times are available on our website

This was our fourth trip in 2025. We own a home in Doonbeg and always bring our guests to see the Pups and Fort. Staff in the shop/cafe are always so pleasant.

Super fun tour of the fort with lots of knowledgeable tour guides, they were also quite funny! We loved it. We enjoyed the sheep dog demonstration so much! It was super cool to learn about how the dogs are trained and to watch them do their thing!! We are so happy we made the trip to the Caherconnell fort! :)
