Mullanabreen hill cashel is a prehistoric enclosed settlement located near Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of a roughly circular stone-built enclosure characteristic of cashel construction, representing a settlement form common to the early medieval period in Ulster and the wider Irish archaeological record. The site's topographical position on elevated ground is typical of such defensive or prestige settlements, offering strategic advantage and visibility across the surrounding landscape. Dating evidence and comparative analysis place the site within the early Christian period, though the cashel form itself has deeper prehistoric roots in Irish settlement archaeology.
