• OF014-031004 Wall monument
  Description

  There are three pieces of stone sculpture embedded in the courtyard walls of Ballylin Demesne. The first piece is located on the N face of the N wall over an archway, it is a armorial plaque (OF015-008002-) with a coat of arms depicting the crucifixion with a date above of 1688. There is a second armorial plaque on the S face of the N wall with a coat of arms of three lions rampant (OF015-008003-). On the N face of the S wall there is a round arched hammer dressed limestone doorway (OF015-008001-) of late medieval date believed to have come from a destroyed church near Kilreghan cemetery (OF014-031001-) (Dunne 1874-5, 161-5). Above this doorway there is a poorly preserved coat of arms (OF015-008004-) with a large stone mortar which has four semicircular lugs (OF015-008005-). All these remains possibly came from the destroyed late medieval church (OF014-031002-) near Kilreghan cemetery. This monument is the same as OF015-008002 Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.

• OF014-046 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a natural rise on the floodplains of the river Brosna. Not visible at ground level. Scattered and confused remains of a several 19th-century buildings with Demesne wall attached to the NW corner running in a S direction. The castle masonry was probably used in the building of the demesne wall and buildings. Evidence of this can be seen on the E side of the demesne wall where a window jamb with punch dressing is embedded in the wall. This piece of masonry came from the destroyed castle and indicates a late medieval date based on the fine punch dressing. This trend of knocking down a castle and reusing its rubble is very common in the county. The exact location of the castle is uncertain however the grass covered wall footings of a building to the W of the extant house may indicate the site of the destroyed castle.
