What is recorded here
Reputed to be the site of a 16th-century O'Reilly castle (NMI: 1946). There are no visible remains at ground level. A large ruined house and outbuildings of late 18th/early 19th-century date now occupy the site.
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.

The O'Reilly family built a castle at Idicated, Dundavan in the 16th century, which was later replaced by a large house and outbuildings in the late 18th or early 19th century. The site is historically significant as it reflects the evolution of noble residences in the region over several centuries.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
