Cashel is a cashel, or stone-walled ringfort, located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument represents a form of fortified settlement characteristic of medieval Ireland, typically dating from the early medieval period through the medieval centuries. The site consists of a stone-built circular or oval enclosure designed to provide defensive protection and demarcation of a high-status residence or farmstead. Such cashels served as the domestic and administrative centres of local lords and their households, and their stone construction distinguished them from the more common earthen raths found throughout the Irish landscape.
