Dee, did you ever decide where tour Dolans came from?? I was looking through all my photos taken years ago and there is a triple plot for Dolans at the C Of I at Drumreilly... In Co. Leitrim BUT in walking distance of Magauran's Castle in Co. Cavan.. Do you have names/dates from more recent times?? It's just a photo showing 3 g/stones in same plot, some is legible some is not as it was just a general snapshot so not on IGP.
