Recorded monuments

• CV016-047 Burial ground
  Description

  Marked on the OS 1912 ed. as a small subrectangular enclosure (dims. c. 22m NW-SE; c. 16m ENE-WSW). Known as the burial ground for Ballyhaise Castle (local information). However, given that Ballyhaise is situated almost 4km NE of Drumcarn House, this association of castle with burial ground seems unlikely. Site has been levelled. 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

• CV016-048 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Marked on Petty's Survey map of 1685 and recorded as being part of the lands of one Hugh Brady at that time. Foundations of a house, reputedly built by the Saundersons, marked on 1836 ed. Described (Davies 1948a, 120) as comprising 'fragments of mortared walls' situated in a hollow. Site now largely covered by modern farmyard, leaving no visible remains at ground level. 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: 22 December 2008
