What is recorded here

Seventeenth-century stones and a bawn wall waited beneath Castletown soil, preserving a household that no longer appears on any modern street. The residence likely hosted markets, births and quiet arguments before disappearing from memory. A bawn suggests pride and protection, enclosing gardens or livestock against raiders and rain. The house vanished, but its shape still exists underneath the town, waiting for someone to dig beside it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17th HOUSE & BAWN (unlocated). 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.
