What is recorded here

Marked as a T-shaped house (max. dims c. 15m NW-SE; c. 10m NE-SW) with a projection at the centre of the SW side and described as 'Bell Green' on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Davies (1948a, 117) recorded ruins known locally as 'Bruncott's Castle' here and suggested that this may be the site of a plantation castle built by James Archibald, but a castle is not recorded on the Down Survey barony map (1656-8) at Boagh (30). See this web-page accessed on 8 April, 2016: http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Tulloghgarvey&c=Cavan There are no visible remains at ground level.
