In the Plantation of Ulster by grant dated 29 April 1611, along with other lands, King James VI and I granted one poll of Killmuriertagh to the McGovern Chief, Feidhlimidh Mág Samhradháin[5] , but it is probable that the lands had been in the possession of the McGovern clan for several hundred years before this and it was just a Surrender and regrant confirming the existing title to the McGoverns.

An Inquisition of King Charles I of England held in Cavan town on 4 October 1626 stated that the aforesaid Phelim Magawrane died on 20 January 1622 and his lands, including one poll of Killmoriertagh, went to his son, the McGovern chief Brian Magauran who was aged 30 (born 1592) and married.[6]

19. ^Site number 47 in “Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan”, Patrick O’Donovan, 1995, where it is described as- Situated on a hillock in undulating countryside. The monument, greatly ruined, consists of a mound 26m long, 7m wide and 0.75m high incorporating two lengths of gallery structure 7m apart. The mound has been extensively dug in the gap between both. In the western half of the mound the surviving gallery is 5.5m long and almost 2m wide. Two chambers can be recognised here, one to the W, 3.5m long, and the other largely destroyed. At the E end of the mound only two contiguous stones, apparently the N side of a gallery, remain. The overall length of the orthostatic structure would suggest that this was a dual court tomb. (de Valera and Ó Nualláin 1972, 117, No. 16).
20. ^Site number 67 in “Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan”, Patrick O’Donovan, 1995, where it is described as- Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Two large slabs orientated ENE-WSW lying against a field boundary. The outer slab (H 1.12m; dims. 1.1m x 0.22m) now overlies the inner one (H 1.15m; dims. 1.4m x 0.13m). An earlier report (OPW 1969) noted a third similar slab incorporated into the field boundary 4.5m to ENE. This was not located.
21. ^Site number 784 in “Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan”, Patrick O’Donovan, 1995, where it is described as- Raised oval area (int. dims. 46.2m NNW-SSE; 36.7m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low earthen bank which has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary. It has been levelled for a stretch at E but its outline is still identifiable. Original entrance not recognisable.
