Cashel is a recorded monument in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, designated as a cashel, which is an Irish fortified farmstead or ring fort. The site represents settlement activity dating to the early medieval period, characteristic of the defensive domestic architecture employed in Ireland from roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries. Cashels of this type typically comprise a circular or near-circular earthwork enclosure, often with an internal bank or stone wall, and would have functioned as the residence of a farming family or small community, affording protection for both inhabitants and livestock. The monument survives as an archaeological record within the landscape of Fermanagh, contributing to understanding of early medieval settlement patterns and territorial organisation in the Ulster region.
