The National Monuments Service's description
The charter of incorporation of Cavan town of 1610 empowers the Corporation to build a “common hall or toltshill” but it is not known if a tholsel was ever built, and it seems unlikely that one ever was (Lewis 1837, 1, 318-19). If it had been it would have been on the Main Street, probably close to the Market Cross (CV020-055003-). (Bradley and Dunne 1989, 40)
