Leacanabuaile - Leaca na Buaile Stone Fort is immediately north of another stone fort called Cahergall (Irish: An Chathair Gheal) in County Kerry, Ireland (Irish: Contae Chiarraí, Éire). Leacanabuaile is located on a rocky outcrop and is surrounded by a dry stone wall. The remains of terraces and huts and other structures including a souterrain are on the site. The internal diameter is about 30 m (98 ft). The wouter walls reach over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) high and are some 3.3 m (11 ft) thick.  There are steep grass slopes on three sides with the entrance being on the east side. It is built of drystone with gaps filled in with rubble. The site is located north of Caherciveen and the N70 road and northwest of Castlequin off a minor road towards Emlagh.
