Caherconree is linked to Baurtregaum (851 m), to the east, by a narrow ridge. There are two deep glens either side of this. North of Caherconree's summit is the long narrow mountain called Gearhane (an Géarán).
Caherconree in myth
Caherconree is named after a stone ringfort that sits two-thirds of the way up its southwestern shoulder, overlooking the mountain road called Bóthar na gCloch ("road of the stones"). The ringfort is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs. In Irish mythology this is the fort of Cú Roí mac Dáire, who was able to make it spin around at night to stop any attackers from finding the entrance. In the story of Aided Con Roí, a king's daughter called Bláthnat is kidnapped and taken to the fort by Cú Roí. She is rescued by her lover, Cú Chulainn. Bláthnat signals to Cú Chulainn that the time is right to attack by pouring milk in a stream. This stream is now called the Finglas (from an Fhionnghlaise meaning "the white stream") and its source is close to the remains of the ringfort.
Join me on a hike to Caherconree (Cathair Con Roí), a magical destination on the Dingle Peninsula, Ireland. It combines mythology and archaeology in a setting that is nothing less than stunning.

Camping and hiking Caherconree
In this video I took a trip down south to county Kerry. I hiked up Caherconree and camped beside the magical fort that is filled with Irish history and mythology. I then hiked to the peak at 5am and saw one of the best sunrises I have ever witnesses. In this video I managed to get some of the best drone footage I have ever captured.
