Whispering Stones

Cahercommaun: Ireland’s Cliff-Edge Citadel


Listen Later

Tucked into the cliffs of County Clare lies Cahercommaun, a massive 9th-century stone fort with roots stretching far deeper into prehistory.


In this episode of Whispering Stones, we explore the story behind its concentric stone walls, ancient souterrains, and the artefacts that hint at wool production, ritual power, and a forgotten chiefdom.

From Iron Age tools to cliffside defense, Cahercommaun offers a rare look at life—and mystery—on the Burren's edge.
