What is recorded here

Kilroot holds a scheduled seventeenth-century bishop's house and bawn, marking the area as a post-medieval centre of ecclesiastical power. The name suggests a man who ruled faith and flesh alike, perhaps sitting behind a bawn wall while ordinary people waited outside for judgement or mercy. Even if every chamber has vanished, the boundary remains imag

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17th HOUSE & BAWN: BISHOP'S HOUSE. Recorded period: POST-MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Bishop's House in Kilroot was built in the 17th century and is associated with the local Anglican clergy, reflecting the religious and administrative structures of the period. It is important as a scheduled historic site, illustrating post-medieval domestic and ecclesiastical architecture in Northern Ireland.
