- CV042-001002: Cross - Wayside cross, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV042-001002-. Situated at W end of field close to boundary with roadway Field is reputedly site of an ancient church (CV042-001001-). Badly weathered wayside cross (H c. 1m) with right arm broken off. Davies (1948, 97) described it as 'an unperforated ringed cross', 0.83m across the arms, the shaft being 0.33m x 0.20m. Furthermore he noted that it was inscribed in raised letters with the name Newell and the date 1626. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
- CV042-002: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV042-002----. Raised almost circular area (int. diam. c. 28m)enclosed by a much-denuded low earthen bank. An earlier report (OPW 1974) recorded traces of a shallow fosse at S and W. Original entrance not recognisable. Interior rises from the perimeter to the centre.

- CV042-046001: Burial mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV042-046001-. The following is recorded by Cahill and Sikora (2011, ii, 300-05): 'In October 1992 during reclamation work on farmland a number of human burials were discovered near Mount Nugent, Co. Cavan. The site consisted of a low rise, approximately 2m above the surrounding surface and approximately 20m in diameter at the top. The bones were recovered at a depth of 0.15-0.2m when the bulldozer drove into the centre of the mound. The following day bones were found around the perimeter of the raised area. The discovery was reported to the Gardaí at Kilnaleck, who visited the site and then informed the NMI. An investigation was carried out by Eamon Kelly. . . The site consisted of a mound approximately 30m by 20m across. The bulldozer had made two cuttings: cutting B on plan measured 40m by 8.5m by 0.15-0.2m deep and extended over the southern side of the mound. Cutting A was aligned north-east/south-west and measured 4m by 2m wide by 0.4m deep. Human remains were recovered from both of these cuttings. The burials appear to have been placed in simple dug graves without any stone lining. The level of disturbance was such that it is not clear whether the burials were extended. . . All of the burials were apparently aligned west/east, with the heads to the west. The sample from cutting A contained the remains of at least three individuals: two adults-one probably female-and one adolescent (1992:44). The latter had porotic hyperostosis-probably the result of iron-deficiency anaemia. The sample from cutting B contained the remains of at least eight individuals: four adults, two adolescents, a child aged between five and seven years and an infant who was probably less than one year old at the time of death. The material appears to represent a subsample of a normal graveyard population. In the absence of any associated finds or other evidence it is not possible to suggest a date for these burials.’ Lying by the field boundary to the SW of the mound is a large boulder bearing a crude Latin cross.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
