Rathbeagh ringfort overlooks the River Nore near Freshford in north county Kilkenny.
Ringforts are earthen-banked enclosures that were built as farming homesteads in the early medieval period, so this one has been here for over 1000 years. The site has mythical associations but little is known about its historical past.
The Community Group- The Acorn Project Collaboration
The Acorn Project Collaboration, with the support of the landowner, want to celebrate and preserve both the natural and cultural heritage of this site, to find out more about it and the people who lived here so long ago and to link it into the wider heritage landscape of north Kilkenny.
