BAWN: KILLEEN HOUSE in Killeen

BAWN: KILLEEN HOUSE

What is recorded here

Killeen House stands in County Armagh as a post-medieval bawn from the seventeenth century, its boundary stones still marking the edge of a life long gone. The name suggests a small settlement or churchland, yet the house itself may have belonged to a family who measured wealth in walls rather than gold. Rain would have struck that stone repeatedly, carrying away footprints and voices until only the shape of the bawn remained.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BAWN: KILLEEN HOUSE. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Killeen House was built in the 17th century and is remembered as a historic bawn, reflecting the defensive and residential architecture of post-medieval Ireland.
