What is recorded here
Seventeenth-century walls and a defensive bawn still hide somewhere in Drumcose, though no modern marker pinpoints them. The house likely served a local family during turbulent times, its bawn providing a last stand against raiders or a simple boundary against wilderness. Without a visible ruin, the place exists only in the gap between memory and land, waiting for a shovel or a storm to reveal what occupancy once demanded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17TH HOUSE & BAWN (unlocated). Recorded period: 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.
