What is recorded here

A bawn of clay and stones was apparently erected here during the Plantation period. The hill upon which it was situated is called 'Castle Hill', and a nearby field 'Piers Field' reputedly derives its name from massive walls with stone gateposts which formerly surrounded it. No visible remains at ground level, but it remains unplanted in a forest. (Davies 1948a, 116-7) 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 revision: 14 April, 2016
