Bawn in Castlepoles

A bawn wall of the Plantation period, constructed of stone and clay was, according to Davies, (1948a, 124-5) situated on an old road a little below the summit of Castlepoles hill. However, local tradition identifies the site of the castle as being c. 85m WSW of this (local information). There are no visible surface remains at either location. Date of upload: 12 April, 2016

A bawn wall at Castlepoles, likely built during the 17th-century Plantation period, was constructed by English or Scottish settlers as part of their defensive enclosures. It is remembered as an example of early colonial architecture and land use in the region.
