Recorded monuments

• CV014-049001 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Raised oval area (int. dims. 45.3m NNE-SSW; 35m WNW-ESE) enclosed by two very substantial earthen banks with wide, deep, intermediate fosse. Corresponding breaks in banks with accompanying causeway at S represents original entrance. A subrectangular hollow with some visible remains of loose masonry occurs in the interior and may represent the remains of a castle built within the rath in the early 17th century (CV014-049002-) In addition, a stone-lined well was constructed the outer edge of the fosse. 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

• CV014-049002 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Between 1611 and 1613, John Fishe apparently built a castle of brick and lime in a rath (CV014-049001-) in this townland. A subrectangular hollow (dims 18.4m NE-SW; 1.4m NW-SE) containing some loose masonry is visible in the interior of the rath and an earlier account (Davies 1948a, 113) suggested that this may mark the cellars of a house. The structure was abandoned in 1719. (O'Reilly 1985, 263-6, 275; Wilsdon 2010, 179-82) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
