Possibly built during the period of the Cromwellian Settlement by Thomas Burton. A castle is marked at Lismacanigan and Cornamucklagh (6) on the Down Survey map (1686-8) and was then in the ownership of Sir Richard and Christopher Nugent. Local tradition recalls that it was located on a low mound (Davies 1948, 106). There are no visible remains at ground level. The precise location of this feature is not known. For the Down Survey map see this web-page accessed on 12/04/2016. http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Castlerahan&c=Cavan 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: 22 December 2008

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.
