I had intended upon climbing to the top of Spinans Hill and going to the cairns and the hill fort, but the weather had turned wonderfully hot and I decided that I'd walked enough already today. So, I settled for getting a good look from below.
The great stone wall that encircles the hill top, marking the Brusselstown Ring is very impressive and best viewed from the road to the south.
Spinans Hill is Europe's largest hill fort at over a mile long and 3/4 miles across.

No, I've still not been up to this hill fort, but I have found another great place to view it from and that is from the roads around Kelshamore (County Wicklow). From here you get a good look at the wall around the summit and the site is dominated by the huge Keaden Mountain to the left.

Again I haven't managed to visit this site, but I was lucky enough to be able to look down on it from Muckduff Upper (County Wicklow).
