What is recorded here

No. 256: Bawn in Robertstown (kells Lower By.), County Meath. The NW turret of the fortified house stands partly on the bawn's W wall, its gun-loops aimed across the yard and the house itself. The bawn stretched north and east, but only that west wall survives inside the later N wing, marked by a single ground-floor light.
The NW turret of the fortified house (ME011-006----) is built partly on the W wall of a bawn that extended to the N and E of the original house. Gun-loops in this turret covered the W walls of the house and the bawn. Only this W wall of the bawn is partly preserved in the N wing added to the house, with a single light at the ground floor. This is a monument in state ownership: No. 256. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 August, 2016
