What is recorded here

Marked on the OS 1912 ed. as a small subrectangular enclosure (dims. c. 22m NW-SE; c. 16m ENE-WSW). Known as the burial ground for Ballyhaise Castle (local information). However, given that Ballyhaise is situated almost 4km NE of Drumcarn House, this association of castle with burial ground seems unlikely. Site has been levelled.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV016-047
