Cahergal Stone Ringfort
County Kerry
Paranormal Investigation 89
This circular stone ring-fort is situated almost 3km from Cahersiveen, County Kerry. It was built around the 7th century and was formerly used as a defended farmstead, most probably for a wealthy farmer to protect his animals. The internal diameter of the ring-fort is 25 metres with the outer dry-stone walls reaching a height of 4 metres and thickness of 5 metres. The top of the fort can be accessed by climbing up stone steps. The remains of a circular stone structure can be found within the centre of the fort. The name Cahergal in Irish is ‘An Chathair Gheal’ which means ‘The White City’.
SITE PHENOMENA
A fairy story linked to Cahergal Fort dating back to 1912 tells of a farmer who thought his cow at pasture near the fort had its milk stolen each night. The farmer and his friends spied on the cow on one moon-lit night, and to their amazement witnessed the cow being milked by a hare, which they believed to be a fairy. An article from the Irish Times stated a ‘flying saucer’ being spotted by five people in the town of Cahersiveen, County Kerry. The article went to post on 12th July 1947; five days after the famous Roswell Incident. At 6:30pm, a Mr Michael O’Sullivan, (who was standing on the street) described seeing a circular object approaching from the north-west (in the same direction as Cahergal and Leacanabaile Forts). It came at rapid speed, whilst revolving, and its progress through the sky was soundless. The object didn’t seem to be too high up; an estimated height of 300 metres in an overcast sky, and was only visible for about ten seconds. Its rim appeared to have a halo of white, and its core looked hollow.
