What is recorded here
Kevit Upper holds a late medieval stone head with bulging eyes and a pointed chin, embedded in a modern wall beside the ruined 16th-century castle. The house may have swallowed an older marker, forcing people to pass a staring face instead of remembering what it marked.
Built into the wall of a modern dwelling-house, c. 30m SSE of the remains of a 16th-century castle (CV025-063001-). The head has a pointed chin, a flattened nose am slightly bulging eyes and is late medieval in 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.
