Cashel is a Early Christian enclosure located near Derry in Northern Ireland. The site consists of an ecclesiastical cashel, a type of fortified monastic settlement characteristic of early medieval Ireland, typically enclosed by a stone or earthen bank. Early Christian cashels of this period served as centres of religious community life and were often established during the fifth to eighth centuries, though many continued in use for considerably longer. The precise dating and extent of occupation at this particular cashel would require consultation of specialist archaeological records held by the relevant heritage body.
