Dún Aonghasa is a prehistoric fort located on Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands in County Galway, Ireland. Perched dramatically on the edge of a 100-meter high cliff, the fort offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. It is believed to have been constructed during the Late Bronze Age, around 1100 BC. The fort consists of a series of semi-circular stone walls, with the innermost wall enclosing an area of about 14 acres. Archaeological evidence suggests that Dún Aonghasa served both as a defensive stronghold and a ceremonial site.
