What is recorded here
The small estate of Crenard was acquired by the Flemings of Slane (ME0190933002-), perhaps during the Plantation. According to contemporary documents there was a bawn and house of lime and stone (Davies 1948a, 94). Land at Crenit (78) is indicated on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map, but no house is represented. See this web-page accessed on 18/04/2016 http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Clonmoghan&c=Cavan Davies (ibid.) identified Crenit with Bellville where there is the remains of a low, subrectangular, grass-covered earthen platform (dims c. 53m N-S; 38m E-W) with apparently rounded corners, extending W from the present early 18th-century house and farm complex.
