The National Monuments Service's description
The townland name – Cashel – suggests that there was once a stone fort within it, and even though Coshell or Cashel townland is represented on an estate map (Wogan 1750, 2) no fort is depicted and none is depicted on any OS 6-inch map. Any such monument remains unlocated, although stones from the cashel were said to be scattered on the hillside in the 1940s (Blaney 1944).
