Nearby Lough Derg is Beal Boru, a prehistoric site dating back to the Iron Age. Lost in the middle of the forest, over 800 stone tools were found. A landmark in Irish history, whose name is said to have been appropriated by King Brian Boru!
Although often ignored by tourists, this site is well worth a visit! Comprising a ringfort, several hundred stone tools, including axes, hammers, etc., were found.
The fort can be found by following a grassy path halfway between the Killaloe and Scarrif roads. You’ll recognize it by its grassy mound. But be careful not to damage it.
A friendly, quiet corner with a certain charm!
