- LE030-009: House - 17th century, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLE030-009----. Situated in pasture at the summit of a low N-S drumlin ridge. A castle is depicted on the Down Survey (1655-6) map at Loughill on the county map or Lowhill on the barony and parish maps of Drumreilly parish where it is represented as a house with a chimney. See this web-page accessed on 25/09/2019 downsurvey.tcd.ie. On these maps Sir James Craig, a Protestant, is described as the owner, and the house was probably built in fulfilment of the land grant of a thousand acres he had received in 1620 and had taken up by 1622 (Mac Cuarta 1999, 130). Traditionally, this was an O'Rourke castle, but there is no supporting evidence of this. According to McParlan (1802, 90) the house, one gable of which was then standing, was captured by a Major Martin Armstrong after the battle of Cavan town on 11 February 1690 when Williamite forces burnt the town, but Armstrong lost his life at this battle (Childs 2007, 190-1). No archaeological feature was visible in pasture at ground level in 1991 (SMR file). See the attached view from the Down Survey bstony map (N at top left) reproduced courtesy of the National Library of Ireland (Ms 717). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).

Located towards the top of the S and SW-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 55.4m E-W; 55m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 4.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.2m) with an external fosse (at N: Wth of top 6.3m; Wth of base 3m; ext. D 0.5m) NW-NE. The bank morphs into an earthen field bank (Wth of base 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2m) ENE-ESE with an outer drain NE-S. Elsewhere the bank has been reduced to a scarp (H 1.5-2m), and the fosse to a berm (Wth 3-5m) S-NW. The original entrance is not identified.

Located towards the bottom of a steep S-facing slope, with the headwaters of a small SE-NW stream c. 40m to the S. It is depicted as a small hachured feature and described as a ‘Giant’s Grave’ only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown cairn (dims 12m N-S; 7m E-W; H 1m) with three upright stones protruding from it 2m inside the W edge.

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.
