C17TH BAWN: WALWORTH in Ballykelly

C17TH BAWN: WALWORTH

What is recorded here

Walworth bawn still stands in Ballykelly, a seventeenth-century stone ring preserved beneath a listed designation. It is the kind of place where people may have lived, loved and argued long before any record existed to prove it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17TH BAWN: WALWORTH. Recorded period: POST-MED. Recorded protection: Listed. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Walworth Bawn in Ballykelly was built in the 17th century, likely by a local gentry family as part of the expansion of fortified residences during the Plantation of Ulster. It is remembered as an example of early modern defensive architecture in Northern Ireland.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
