Nothing remains of the original settlement except for the ruins of the Parish Church of Faughanvale which was built in 1626, the gable and window arch still stands in the graveyard of St Canice, the present parish church which was built in 1821. The fortified bawn stood until 1823 when the Grocer's Company remodelled the village and built a Glebe house (rectory) on the site, they also built a schoolhouse, courthouse, manor house, market house and cottages. Several of these are still to be seen today including the Erasmus Smith schoolhouse built in 1812. During the rebellion of 1641, the bawn was taken by insurgents under the command of Colonel McDonnell, they held out under siege through the winter of 1641 eventually being relieved by allied troops from Derry in the summer of 1642.
