It's #HillfortsWednesday !!

It's still impressive however, especially from the air 🤩

Did you know that there are more than 150 hillforts, hilltop and hillslope enclosures recorded on land cared for by the National Trust?
They're amazing archaeological sites, but also real havens for nature. 🧵

A small 12th century church and a 15th-century castle at Kilcash, Tipperary.
This historic landscape is perhaps best known for the Caoineadh Cill Cáis [The Keening of Kilcash], a famous lament.
