Recorded monuments

• CV011-013 Historic town
  Description

  Davies (1948, 100) recorded that this site was constructed by Col. Wolseley in 1689. It is now largely occupied by a modern Church of Ireland chapel and graveyard. Bradley and Dunne (OPW 1989, 25-6) were of the opinion that 'it had been originally square with salient angled bastions at each corner'. Only the S side has survived. This comprises a substantial linear earthen rampart with external fosse and bastions at each end. Very slight traces of the NW bastion are also identifiable. The W and E ramparts and the NE bastion have been destroyed as a result of grave-digging. The graveyard wall and the modern roadway at its external foot are built on the site of the N rampart. 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

• CV011-013001 Battery
  Description

  Situated at the crest of an E-facing slope at the E side of Belturbet town, with the ground sloping away to the N and S also. Davies (1948, 100) recorded that this site was constructed by Col. Wolseley in 1689. Bradley and Dunne (OPW 1989, 27) were of the opinion that the site was probably 'originally square with triangular platform bastions set inside each of the four corners'. It is a rectangular area (int. dims c. 30m NNW-SSE; c. 38m ENE-WSW) defined by large earthen ramparts and outer fosses. The WSW side survives complete together with the adjacent part of the bank and fosse at SSE and the bank at NNW. At WSW there is a large earthen rampart with an external fosse. The NNW rampart (Wth of base 7m; Wth of top 3.5m; int. H 2.5m; ext. H c. 3m) has been incorporated into a field boundary. There is a wide break (Wth 4m) in the centre of the WSW rampart with an outer causeway (Wth of top 2.6m; H 0.8-0.9m), and a smaller gap (Wth 0.8m) in the N rampart.

• CV015-016001 Bastioned fort
  Description

  Located on top of a hill at the W side of Belturbet town, with a SSW-NNE section of the River Erne and the motte (CV011-013002-) on Turbet Island in the valley c. 200m to the W. Davies (1948, 100) recorded that the fort at this location was constructed by Co. Wolseley in 1689. It is now largely occupied by a Church of Ireland church and graveyard. Bradley and Dunne (1989, 25-6) were of the opinion that ’it had been originally square with salient angled bastions at each corner’. Only the S side of the square enclosure (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 50m E-W) has survived. This comprises a substantial linear earthen rampart (Wth c. 8m; int. H c. 1m; ext. H c. 2m; L 30m) with an external berm and bastions at each end. The SE bastion (int. dims 12m E-W; 11.7m N-S) is grass-covered and largely free of burials. It is defined by earthen banks, best preserved at S (Wth of base 8m; Wth of top 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 3.8m) where the outer fosse (Wth of base 1.5m; ext. D 1.7m) has been re-cut as a drain. About half of the SW bastion survives in its original condition, the rest having been leveled for burials. Very slight races of the NW bastion are also identifiable. The W and E rampart and the NE bastion have been destroyed as a result of grave-digging. The WNW-ESE graveyard wall at N and the modern roadway outside it are built roughly on the site of the N rampart, but the NE bastion extended under the road where there is a noticeable scarp on its E side.
