An island stronghold in Lough Ramor is mentioned in the annals as early as 846 AD. Local tradition identifies this with Ballaghanea Island which can be reached from the land by a ford. No evidence for a later castle. The walls and quays presently identifiable on the island suggest an occupation no earlier than the 19th century. (Davies 1947a, 76)
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.
