What is recorded here

Farnham castle built a stone house and sod bawn with four flankers during the second decade of the 17th century. Its southeast corner may have risen two storeys under cross-vaulting, while a slab-roofed tunnel ran north outside the enclosure. Much of that framework seems to live inside the modern house still standing on the site.

A castle comprising a stone house and a bawn of sods with four flankers was erected here in the second decade of the 17th century. Parts of this appear to have been incorporated into a modern house which now occupies the site. An earlier account (Davies 1948, 112) described what must have been a flanker at the SE corner of the bawn, a two-storey strong structure with cross-vaulting over the upper floor. A tunnel (dims. 1.8m x 1.2m) roofed with slabs apparently ran outside the bawn enclosure in a northerly direction. 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
