White Fort, Cashel is a univallate ringfort situated near Cashel in County Down, Northern Ireland. The monument dates to the early medieval period, likely between the fifth and ninth centuries, and represents a characteristic form of defended domestic settlement common throughout Ireland during this era. The fort comprises a single bank and ditch enclosure, typical of the cashel type of ringfort construction, which served as a fortified residence for a farming family or small community. Such sites are significant archaeological witnesses to early Christian settlement patterns and social organisation in medieval Ulster, though this particular example has seen considerable erosion and modification over the centuries.
