- CV011-018: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV011-018----. Depicted as a large building (dims c. 20m E-W; c. 10m N-S) perhaps with a wide projection on the N side, and described as Grilly Castle in Ruins on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as (Site of) on subsequent eds. It is situated on the W slope of a drumlin and on the S side of an old road to Belturbet. Possibly an O'Reilly stronghold. Although there are now no visible remains of this monument at ground level, an earlier account (Davies 1947a, 91) noted some grassed-over mounds possibly marking the outline of a small building. During land clearance in the vicinity in the early 1980s red brick and rubble were uncovered (local information). 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

Situated in Grilly Lough, c. 80m from the shoreline. A few large stones protruding above the water-level of the lake presumably represent a crannóg cairn. Known locally as a crannóg. 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

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.
