Moneygashel
In the townland Moneygashel ( Irish Muine na gCaiseal , "thicket of stone forts") near Dowra south of Blacklion in County Cavan in Ireland are three Iron Age duns or stone forts.
The largest of the three stone forts (also cashels) in the Moneygashel district is about 800 meters north of a former school and is best reached via a farm 400 meters away. Considered one of the best preserved in south Ulster , it has a well-preserved lintel over the entrance and an unusual exterior stone staircase. Inside there are two more stairs. The circular wall covers an area with a diameter of about 25 meters and is partially preserved up to a height of about 3 meters. The access to a basement is in the south at the outer base of the wall.
On a hill about 450 m to the southwest lies a small ruined cashel with the Legeelen sweat house behind the entrance.
