What is recorded here

Vault is a corner tower in County Cavan, Ireland, built for a bawn and later adapted as a mausoleum with a corbelled roof over its ground floor. It once held the headstone of Rev. George Carson and his wife Mary, a man who may have ministered at the Presbyterian church in Croaghan before the stone moved to Croghan House. The tower still stands as a small chamber where a household, a faith and a buried life were kept together beneath one stone roof.

What may have been the SW corner tower of the bawn (CV019-008001-) could have been adapted as a mausoleum with a corbelled roof over the ground floor. An undated but probably 19th century headstone which commemorates Rev. George Carson and his wife Mary that was in the tower is now at Croghan House c. 130m to the N. He may have been a minister at the Presbyterian church in Croaghan, c. 270m to the SSW. The headstone is inscribed in both cursive and roman lettering and reads: Here lies the body of the Revd. George Carson / wishing for the Resurrection of the Just / Who when living was / a S____ of Christian liberty / and to whom Christ ___ as both / Vici V____ & Veritus / as also Mary Carson his wife Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 April, 2016
