What is recorded here
Favor Royal Bawn stands in County Tyrone as a post-medieval royal bawn, marked on the official map at the centre of its recorded site. The name suggests a gift of land or favor granted under royal authority, perhaps to a family who built the wall and lived inside its shadow. Whether the bawn marked reward, control or belonging, its stones still outline the shape of that transaction.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FAVOR ROYAL BAWN. 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.
Favor Royal Bawn is a 17th-century bawn house associated with the MacCarty family, built during the early modern period in what is now County Kerry, Ireland. It is remembered as an example of early Irish plantation architecture and as part of the historical landscape linked to the Lismore Castle estate.
