Cashelore, Stone ringfort in County Sligo, Ireland
The oval-shaped fort measures 23 meters from east to west and 16 meters from north to south, with walls reaching 2.4 meters in height.
Built between 400 and 1100 AD, the fort witnessed a significant conflict in 1389 between the O'Ruaircs and Ó hÉilidhe families.
The name variants Cashelore, Cashel Bir, and Bawnboy reflect different linguistic interpretations relating to pride, stakes, and yellow enclosure respectively.
Visitors can access the eastern entrance through a ramp leading to the 1.2-meter-wide doorway, though fallen stones partially block the path.
The fort contains a hidden souterrain passage within its walls, and archaeological excavations have discovered multiple skeletal remains near the structure.
