What is recorded here

Redhill Demesne was a fortified house in County Cavan, built around the mid-18th century with roughly coursed limestone and rubble. Its almost square frame measured nearly seventeen metres across, split by an internal wall, while a bolt-hole doorway and fragmentary windows marked the boundaries between inside and out. The north wall has been partially reconstructed, but the rest still stands as it fell: sharp-angled, unfinished, and waiting for someone to remember why it was built to keep people out.

Large almost square building (int. dims 16.7m NW-SE; 16.45m NE-SW) built of roughly coursed limestone and rubble, divided internally by a wall running NE-SW. Remains of doorway with bolt-hole in SE wall. Fragments of windows survive in the SW and NE walls. The N wall has been partially reconstructed. Probably of mid-18th-century date. 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 upload/revision: 22 December 2008
