Cromwells Road

Marked on all OS eds. A modern narrow stretch of tarred roadway (L 960m) aligned approximately NNW-SSE. It is thought that the trackway origjnally commenced at the 'Castle Offices' (CV020-047----) in Innisconnell Td, which are believed to date to the 17th century, and ran roughly NNW-SSE through Corracanvy Td to the summit of a hill in Gartbrattan Td. From there it continued to Cavan Town c. 5.5 km to ESE. (local information). Davies (ITA Survey 1942) did not consider the roadway to be contemporaneous with the 17th-century sites noted above. 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
