Reputedly the site of 'Bunraskeen Castle', a 16th-century structure with two flanking towers formerly positioned at the corners of the yard of 'Castle Cosby' house (Davies 1948a, 97). All that survives is the S portion of the SW tower (int. diam. c. 2.2m) built of roughly coursed limestone masonry. Late medieval stone head in modern dwelling-house nearby (CV025-063002-). A castle at Cavatt (73) is not marked on the Down Survey (1656-8) map of Kilmore parish.
