On the last saturday of may, we -as a Carlow.pl - organised the trip to Wicklow Mountains for Polish people who are living in Carlow. Apart of typical touristic sites we visited also many archaeological places usually avoided by tour buses. We have visited stone circle known as Piper’s Stone (I mentioned in on my blog almost 1 year ago), but our last stop was a place near Tullow - a massive, enormous stone fort Rathgall.
It consist of about 4 circular stone ramparts/walls. The 3 outer ones are roughly dated on the late bronze age, and the internal - best preserved - one is probably early medieval.
