What is recorded here
Bawn in Ballyconnell is a roughly rectangular enclosure whose faint foundations still trace the south half of a tower house. The surviving wall lengths stretch nearly forty-eight metres at the northwest and southeast, while a narrow gap in the southwest may have marked the gateway. People likely moved through that opening with tools, food or fear, binding the stone to daily life long before measurement.
Associated with a tower house (GA123-015----) which occupies its S half. Only the foundations of this roughly rectangular bawn wall survive. Three wall lengths were distinguishable at NW (L 48.8m), NE (L 38.5m) and SE (L 47.7m). Only a short length of the SW wall (L 7.6m) was discernible. A gap (Wth 1.9m) within it possibly marked the location of a gateway.
