What is recorded here

Gosford Bawn stands in Carricklane, County Armagh, a seventeenth-century fortification marked only by a point on an official map. The name suggests a closed defensive space, perhaps a walled yard where people watched the road and waited for trouble. No building remains visible in the facts, but the shape of a bawn implies rooms, doors and the daily discipline of living behind a boundary.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BAWN: GOSFORD BAWN. Recorded period: C17TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Gosford Bawn in Carricklane was built in the 17th century, likely by a local landowning family, and is remembered as a historic bawn or defensive enclosure associated with early plantation-era settlements in Northern Ireland.
