Bawn in Duncarbry

On top of a prominent rise in an undulating landscape. The McClancy castle Duncarbry, probably a tower house (LE001-032----) and bawn, is now a rectangular grass-covered platform (dims 28m E-W; 17m N-S) defined by a collapsed wall (Wth 2m; H 0.45m generally to 2.25m at S) around the perimeter. The remains of a rectangular structure form a mound, probably the tower house, at the NE angle. No wall-facing or architectural features are visible.

The Bawn in Duncarbry was associated with the McClancy family and dates to the late medieval period, likely 15th or 16th century. It is remembered as part of a defensive tower house complex, reflecting the regional importance of hilltop strongholds in Ulster during this era.
