A late 16th-century account (CSPI 1592-6) noted two castles at Cavan Town. The first was in all probability at Tullymongan (CV020-055004-) situated in Townparks townland at the SE of the town. The second is not precisely located, but from Netherclift's plan of Cavan town made c. 1593 it might be one of the two crenelated structures depicted on the W side of Main Street. (Bradley and Dunne 1989, 42)

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