The National Monuments Service's description
A castle at Augharan was reputedly demolished in 1801 to provide material for the Carrigallen to Mohill road (Blaney 1944). This castle is not recorded on the Down Survey (1656-8) maps of Cloone parish or Carrigallen barony, although many other similar features would not be recorded. Agharann is not near any route from Carrigallen to Mohill, and if a castle existed here it remains unlocated. For the Down Survey maps see this web-page accessed on 19/04/2017: http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Mohill&c=Leitrim
