Bawn

What is recorded here

Bawn in Tullowmacjames stood atop a natural rock outcrop beside a seventeenth-century fortified house, but the structure has vanished. A doorway on the first floor once opened onto its wall walk, inviting residents to step outside into the upland air. That much is known, though the bawn itself no longer exists to be entered.
Situated atop natural rock outcrop in unduoating upland area. Destroyed bawn which was located to the W of the 17th century fortified house (TN030-027001) and was accessed at wall walk level from a doorway on the NW angle at first floor level.
