What is recorded here
Seventeenth-century stones and a defensive bawn still hide somewhere in Cosbystown, waiting for a boot to find them. The house may have sheltered a family, the bawn may have held their cattle or kept out thieves, and both may have fallen into grass before anyone wrote them down.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17TH HOUSE & BAWN (unlocated). Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. 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.
