Found it!
Situated on a hill overlooking Lough Gara, this is a fine stone ringfort built of stones which get progressively smaller near the top. Inside are stairways leading to the ramparts, as well as a wall niche under one of the stairs. There are two souterrains in the interior. It was partially rebuilt in the 18th century.

A very old iron kissing gate leads us to the stone fort. It was a very muddy walk once inside this gate.

This fort contains a number of souterrains. These are a common feature of Irish ringforts and cashels but few remain in such a good state of repair as these.
I used the flash on the camera for this photo.
