What is recorded here
BAWN in Derrybard is a post-medieval fortification dating to the seventeenth century. It is a place where walls were built to keep out what the land would not surrender. The stones may have guarded a family, a road or a claim to soil. They still stand as a reminder that borderland life was never quiet.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BAWN. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
