What is recorded here
The current house at Ashgrove is an 18th-century structure. However, Davies (1948a, 113) recorded that this house stands on massive foundations and vaults, which he believed, belonged to an earlier 17th-century castle. In addition, he identified portion of what may have been the former bawn wall at S (T c. 0.6m), 'built with a row of arched recesses flanked by engaged masonry-columns', W of the house.
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.
