Bawn in Annagh (tullyhaw By.)

Captain Culme and Walter Talbot were granted 1500 acres in this area during the reign of James I. According to Pynnar's survey of 1619 there was a strong three-storey castle and a bawn with two flanking towers here. This castle was entirely destroyed by accidental fire and a house built on its site by G. Mountgomery Esq, in 1764. (Lewis 1837, vol. 1, 130). Pre-development testing (04E1300) in 2004 revealed a substantial wall( L 10m, H 0.5m-0.7m, Wth 1m). The stone is well coursed and is bonded with a white lime mortar (Read 2007m). 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 revision: 13 April 2016

Captain Culme and Walter Talbot were granted land in the area in the early 17th century during the reign of James I, and by 1619 a strong three-storey castle with a bawn and flanking towers was recorded, reflecting early 17th-century plantation architecture and English settlement in Ireland.
