A circular earthwork is shown on a hill at Conaghy on McCrea's map of County Monaghan (1793) in the National Library of Ireland (MS 161.10). This is probably the same as the 'fort of the Cú (hounds) …situated beside Mac Mahon's castle' (MO012-046----) known in the folk traditions (IFC: Schools’ MSS: 946, 59: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes ). The hill is easily identified but the exact positions of either the castle or the rath are not known. . The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 29 January, 2018
- MO012-046: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO012-046----. A local tradition recorded in the Schools Collection of the Irish Folklore Commission relates that the ruins of Mahon’s castle were on land then (1930s) owned by George Manly, on top of a hill in Conaghy. See this web-page accessed on 20/04/2016. http://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4723854/4719271 Another page records that the castle was beside a fort http://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4723854/4719305 There is no other record of this castle. Conagh (5) is marked on the Down Survey (1656-8) map parish map, for which see this web-page http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Dartry&c=Monaghan but no structures are depicted there. No fort or castle at Conaghy is know from the OS 6-inch maps, but a fort is indicated there on William McCrea’s map of Co. Monaghan (1793) on top of a hill. The hill is easily identified but the exact positions of either the castle or ringfort are not known.

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.
