Bawn in Lisgannon, County Cavan

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

In 1601 Captain Hugh O'Reilly erected a 'bawn of sods' at this location. It has been suggested (Davies 1948a, 118-9) that Lisgannon rath (CV021-060001-) may have been modified to accommodate this bawn, a second bank and wide berm having been added to the pre-existing bank and fosse of the rath. No visible remains at ground level.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV021-060002
