Not marked on any OS 6-inch map, and a castle at Lislea (430) is not marked on the Down Survey barony map (1656-8). See this web-page accessed on 8 April, 2016: http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Tulloghgarvey&c=Cavan Situated near the summit of a high drumlin hill. Known as 'Castle Saunders' and thereby believed to be the site of a Saunderson stronghold (local information). There are no visible remains at ground level apart from a pile of stones. 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: 11 April, 2016

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.
