After 1616 Sir Oliver Lambert was granted lands at Cavan town on condition that he built a citadel and town wall (Davies 1948, 98), but he seems to have built neither and the town remained undefended by stone walls throughout its history. However, references to a town ditch in 1634 (Hunter 1971, 13) suggest that there may have been some earthwork defences, although their line is not known. (Bradley and Dunne 1989, 43)

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows only the centre of the wider government map area. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
