This article appears in Volume V05, Page 573 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CAVAN , a market-town and the county town of Co. Cavan, Ireland, near the centre of the county, in the west parliamentary division, 85z m. N.W. of Dublin by the Midland
Great
  Western railway, and the terminus of a branch of the
Great
  Northern railway from Clones. Pop. of urban
district
  (1901), 2822. It is on one of the tributary streams of the Annalee river, in a broad valley surrounded on every side by elevated ground, with picturesque environs, notably the demesnes of
Farnham
  and of Kilmore, which belongs to the bishops of that diocese. Cavan has no buildings of antiquarian
interest
 , but the principal county institutions are here, and the most conspicuous building is the grammar school, founded by Charles I. It was rebuilt in 1819 on an
eminence
  overlooking one of the main entrances into the town, and is capable of accommodating Loo
resident
  pupils. The college of St
Patrick
  is near the town. Cavan has some linen
trade
 , and a considerable retail business is transacted in the town. A monastery of Dominican friars, founded by O'Reilly, chieftain of the Brenny, formerly existed here, and became the burial-place of the celebrated Irish general, Owen O'Neill, who died as, is supposed by poison, in 1649, at Cloughoughter. There was also the castle of the O'Reillys, but this and all other antiquities of the town were swept away during the violent and continuous feuds to which the country was subjected. In 1690 the
chief
  portion of the town was burned by the Enniskilleners under General Wolseley, when they routed a
body
  of James II.'s troops under the duke of Berwick.
