A castle comprising a stone house and a bawn of sods with four flankers was erected here in the second decade of the 17th century. Parts of this appear to have been incorporated into a modern house which now occupies the site. An earlier account (Davies 1948, 112) described what must have been a flanker at the SE corner of the bawn — a two-storey strong structure with cross-vaulting over the upper floor. A tunnel (dims. 1.8m x 1.2m) roofed with slabs apparently ran outside the bawn enclosure in a northerly direction.
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.
