What is recorded here

Bawn in Milltown (athlone South By.) is a wedge-shaped castle enclosure on the SE bank of the Ballyglass stream in County Roscommon, Ireland. Its inner court measures about 75m north-south and 30 to 70m east-west, with two possible towers at the NW angle and south wall. An east entrance and 10m causeway lead to a larger outer ward of about 90m by 80m, perhaps never finished, with two more rectangular towers and four building remains inside the inner bawn.

On the SE bank of the NE-SW Ballyglass stream around castle (RO047-058001-). This is a wedge-shaped area (dims c. 75m N-S; c. 30m E-W at N; c. 70m E-W at S). It is defined by a spread of stone and wall footings except at the N, and two towers can tentatively be identified, at the NW angle and at the centre of the S wall. An out-turned entrance and outer causeway (L 10m; Wth 3.5m) on the E wall leads to an outer wedge-shaped ward (dims c. 90m E-W; c. 80m N-S) which might not have been completed and is largely removed. The outer ward is defined by less substantial walls on the SE and NE sides backing onto the stream at W, and two rectangular towers can be identified, on the SE wall and at the E angle. There are four rectangular buildings (RO047-058023-; RO047-058024-; RO047-058025-; RO047-058026-) within the inner bawn. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
