Recorded monuments

• CV013-001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised circular area (int. diam. 18.2m) enclosed by a very low earthen bank and vague traces of a fosse identifiable only from SW-W-N. An earlier report (OPW 1969) suggested that the original entrance may have been at SSE. 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

• CV013-002001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Remains of rectangular building (int. dims. 9.5m E-W; 5.9m N-S) of rough, uncoursed limestone masonry. Plain splayed window in W end of S wall. Fireplace and chimney in E end of S wall. The structure was apparently two stories in height. Lying on the ground is half of the doorway arch. Dressed stone indicates a late 16th or early 17th-century date. Remains of a largely destroyed stone head at NW angle. Davies (1947a, 94-5) recorded that this 'although barbarously mutilated in recent years, looks from the grooves under the chin to have been a grotesque of a type not likely to have been made after 1600'. (Wilsdon 2010, 184-6) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).

• CV013-075 Bridge
  Description

  This bridge spans the county boundary between Leitrim and Cavan.  A bridge is depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) map of Carrigallen barony connecting Tumanahan (22) (Woodford) with Co. Cavan, close to the castle (LE026-001002-). The precise location of the bridge is not known, but the Ballinamore & Ballyconnell canal will have removed all evidence of a bridge close to the house. The canal has cut off a loop of the river extending N and the bridge may have been here.  Cross-reference with LE026-001004-  See the attached view from the Down Survey parish map (N at left) reproduced courtesy of the National Library of Ireland (Ms 717).  Compiled by: Michael Moore
