What is recorded here
C17TH HOUSE & BAWN stands in Ballyellough, County Antrim, preserving a post-medieval domestic structure and defensive enclosure. The bawn suggests residents valued privacy or protection, perhaps against bandits, weather, or simple curiosity. Inside the house, lamps may have burned late while storms struck the Antrim coast, binding human warmth to the stubbornness of stone.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17TH HOUSE & BAWN. Recorded period: POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
