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

- CV016-047: Burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV016-047----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV016-048----. 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
- CV016-049: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV016-049----. Raised circular area (int. diam. 37.4m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep fosse. In the fosse at S is a spring well and the surrounding area is very waterlogged. Break in the bank at SE (Wth 4.2m) with accompanying very wide causeway (Wth c.10m) represents original entrance. 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

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
