What is recorded here

Yes. That is a bawn in Castletroy, County Limerick, Ireland. Celie O’Rahilly recorded the possibility in 1991. The 1654-56 Civil Survey mentioned an orchard at CallaghItroy in 1640, perhaps the same walled place.

In 1991 an archaeological survey carried out by Celie O’Rahilly as part of an environmental impact report recorded the possible presence of a levelled bawn defending the castle (LI006-017001-) at Castletroy. The levelled bawn was described by O'Rahilly as following; 'Immediately around the structure [Castle Troy] is raised ground, to the east, south and west, which may be the remains of the bawn'. The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that in 1640 Theobald Lord Baron of Brittas was the proprietor in 'CallaghItroy' of a 'ruined castle an orchard & an Eele weare upon it' (Simington 1938, 465). The 'orchard' described in the 1654-56 Civil Survey may have been the walled garden or bawn attached to the medieval castle of Castletroy. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 11 May 2020
