Lissacashel is a early Christian cashel located in the Newry and Mourne district of Northern Ireland. The site comprises a stone-built ringfort with an associated souterrain, characteristic defensive and domestic features of early medieval Irish settlement. Dating to the early Christian period, the cashel represents the type of enclosed farmstead occupied by farming communities and ecclesiastical dependents during the early medieval centuries. The souterrain, a subterranean stone-lined passage, would have served defensive or storage functions typical of such settlements.
