| A cashel is a stone fort. Also called a Dun (pronounced Doon). Also called a caher. There are a few named 'Caherdoon' which means 'stone fort stone fort', which always tickles me! They aren't really related to the Brochs. Cashels are mainly Iron Age or later (which in Ireland started quite late). The brochs are probably the homes of the early Picts and date from or pre-date the Roman invasion. Reply | with quote |  17th July 2004ce 07:05 In reply to: 3 questions (Hob) |
