## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CV038-008001: Castle - ringwork, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV038-008001-. Situated on the summit of a high drumlin hill. Adjacent to the site at SW are the remains of an 18th-century church, thought to have been built on or close to the site of a medieval church (CV038-008003-; CV038-008002-). Raised subrectangular platform (H c. 4m; int. dims c. 42m NE-SW; c. 24m N-S) enclosed by two very substantial banks of earth and stone with wide, deep intermediate fosse. Foundations of a rectangular building (int. dims c. 11m NE-SW; c. 7m NW-SE) lie within the enclosed area in SW quadrant and those of a circular structure (int. diam. c. 6.5m) which Davies (1947a, 88) postulated was a gatehouse, occur at NE. At SW he identified the foundations of a second approximately circular structure (diam. c. 11m) which he interpreted as the remains of a tower. (CUCAP: AYS 34, AYS 35, AYS 36) 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

Church situated at NW corner of a subrectangular graveyard. Rectangular building of stone and mortar construction (dims. 16m E-W; 7m N-S). Features include a collapsed doorway in W wall, an intact doorway in S wall and one window in the N, E and S walls respectively. Some gravestones and trees within the church. Davies (1948, 80) recorded that the church was erected in the 18th century and was abandoned in 1834. He noted the local tradition that the original Castlerahan church stood '50 yds. to the east' of the present church (CV038-008003-).

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.
