Dún Ailinne

Dún Ailinne (pronounced [ˈd̪ˠuːn̪ˠ ˈalʲɪ nʲə]; sometimes anglicized Dun Aulin) is an ancient ceremonial site on the hill of Cnoc Ailinne (Knockaulin) in County Kildare, Ireland. It is southwest of Kilcullen, near the N78 road to Athy. It is a large circular enclosure covering most of the hilltop; about 13 hectares. Archeological investigations show that there were once circular timber structures (or rings of upright timbers) inside the enclosure. The hill is 183 metres (600 ft) above sea level. It should not be confused with the Hill of Allen (Cnoc Alúine), which is to the northwest.
