Bawn in Duncarbry — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Duncarbry is a bawn and probable tower house belonging to the McClancy lineage, preserved as a grass-covered platform on a prominent rise in County Leitrim. A collapsed two-metre wall still marks the perimeter, while a rectangular mound at the northeast angle hints at the lost tower. The exact chamber, stair, or room layout has vanished beneath grass and time, but the surviving boundary suggests a private defensive residence rather than an open farmstead.

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.
