Rating graphic. Cashel / An Caiseal is the name of a settlement south of the hill, and also a townland. The townland is named from the earth- and stone-banked 'ringfort' or cashel surrounding the old cemetery in Caiseal Ard / High Cashel. This is probably an Early Christian religious site (TR, 72). Walks: for a route to the summit from the SW, see Whilde & Simms, New Irish Walk Guide - West and North, 30.
Cashel Hill is the 954th highest summit in Ireland. Cashel Hill is the second most westerly summit in the South Connemara area. Our data has reached 31% of the goal for this summit. (Details)

walk info
by fkaatje  14 Jan 2012 Cashel Hill is a nice short hill walk. Easy access and excellent views. Can easily be done in 2 hours. For a full day in the hills consider combining it with one of the other great viewpoints in this area. Errisbeg and Cnoc Mordain are both under 20 minutes by car.

I found a detailed description of the walk at http://www.roundstone-connemara.com/Roundstone-Walking-Courtesy-of-the-Roundstone-House-Hotel/Cashel-Hill-Walk.html. I left my GPS track at http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/user.do?name=fkaatje.
