Recorded monuments

• CV038-008001 Castle - ringwork
  Description

  Situated on the summit of a high drumlin hill. Adjacent to the site at SW are the remains of an 18th-century church, thought to have been built on or close to the site of a medieval church (CV038-008003-; CV038-008002-). Raised subrectangular platform (H c. 4m; int. dims c. 42m NE-SW; c. 24m N-S) enclosed by two very substantial banks of earth and stone with wide, deep intermediate fosse. Foundations of a rectangular building (int. dims c. 11m NE-SW; c. 7m NW-SE) lie within the enclosed area in SW quadrant and those of a circular structure (int. diam. c. 6.5m) which Davies (1947a, 88) postulated was a gatehouse, occur at NE. At SW he identified the foundations of a second approximately circular structure (diam. c. 11m) which he interpreted as the remains of a tower. (CUCAP: AYS 34, AYS 35, AYS 36) 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

• CV038-008002 Church
  Description

  Church situated at NW corner of a subrectangular graveyard. Rectangular building of stone and mortar construction (dims. 16m E-W; 7m N-S). Features include a collapsed doorway in W wall, an intact doorway in S wall and one window in the N, E and S walls respectively. Some gravestones and trees within the church. Davies (1948, 80) recorded that the church was erected in the 18th century and was abandoned in 1834. He noted the local tradition that the original Castlerahan church stood '50 yds. to the east' of the present church (CV038-008003-).
