"Staigue Fort is situated in the village of Staigue eleven miles from the village of Sneem and about six miles from Derrynane. It is built of peculiar shaped stones and is circular in shape. There are winding flights of stairs along the interior of the walls and several caves which are great items of interest to tourists. Antiquarians explore these caves with lighted candle. There is a caretaker in charge who charges people at the gate.
The history of the fort is as follows. It is supposed to be built by a widow and her son who lived in the village long, long years ago. It was built in one night. The widow drew the stones a distance of ten miles over the mountains in her apron while her son built. When she was bringing the last apron of stones her apron strings broke and the cairn of stones are to be seen to the present day where they fell to the ground. This is supposed to be the reason why Staigue Fort was never finished."

the Catalogue says View of the house where Edgar Allen Poe grandparents lived, Toumeregan & Kildallon, Co. Cavan.

Kildallan and Tomregan are both townlands in Cavan, but some distance (20km) apart.

Wikipedia Their grandfather, David Poe, had emigrated from County Cavan, Ireland, around 1750., references a book Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography (1941):

Dismissing as without foundation the mythical tales which connect Edgar Poe with noble families of Europe, it seems certain that his great-great-grandfather was David Poe, a tenant-farmer in Dring, in the parish of Kildallon and County Cavan, Ireland, who died in 1742. David's son, John Poe, emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1749 or 1750,(29) having married Jane McBride, daughter, it is [page 14:] possible, though not certain, of a clergyman, Reverend Robert McBride, and sister of an admiral of the Blue, John McBride. After living for a time in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, John Poe moved to Baltimore, where he died in 1756.

John's eldest son, David, had been born in Ireland in 1742 or 1743. He carried on his business of making spinning wheels and clock reels, on Market Street in Baltimore from 1775.

Dring townland is next to Kildallan, and I count maybe 10 possible houses on the 1830s 6", although that is 80 years after David Poe left.

Having eyeballed the Google aerial view of Dring, I do not think this ruin is still there. (Of course, it may never have been in the actual townland marked as Dring.)

More Googling: "David Poe's will, dated August 25, 1742, described him as of 'Dring Parish of Kildallon, County Cavan, Farmer. In the old vestry book of Kildallon, he is mentioned as the overseer of roads in the parish. The ruin is of a substantial house, and Poe sounds like a Big Cheese, perhaps this is the building marked as Dring Ho. which was here: Streetview

" ... A 50ft high mausoleum made of black limestone was erected in 1690 by the 20th Lord of Kerry, William Fitzmaurice, at a burial site for the Fitzmaurice clan members.

It stood on top of Killbinane Hill, near Lixnaw, until 1958 when it was dynamited to smithereens by Kerry County Council, who wanted to use the stone for road building. ... "

Looks like the little hill has been quarried to buggagery.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons There seems to be something, maybe foundations, still there via the Google satellite. Field Trip required, with a picnic and appropriate refreshment.
