What is recorded here

Bawn in Ballintruer Beg is a stone enclosure beside a tower house in County Wicklow, Ireland. Its south wall stretches sixteen metres before turning north, marking a compact living space rather than a grand castle. The gap in the wall may have been a doorway, suggesting people entered this place intentionally. What remains is small but deliberate, a reminder that strength and identity can live in modest stone.

Situated on level ground at the foot of a steep W-facing slope with gentle slopes to the W and N. A possible small bawn adjoining a tower house (WI021-028----). The S wall of the tower house continues westward (overall length of S wall 16m) turning northwards at its W end for 3.5m. This N-S section of wall survives as a single course only. Just W of the S wall is a gap (Wth 1.5m) which may represent a doorway with a small segment of wall running E-W (L c. 2m) beyond it. The tower house and possible bawn lie within an oval enclosure (WI021-028002-). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 5 December 2012
