What is recorded here

Moneymore still holds a fortified house and bawn from the post-medieval period. Stone walls and a defined courtyard suggest people valued protection enough to build it repeatedly. The land may have tested every joint before it accepted the shape. Strength is not pride; it is the removal of what does not need to exist.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFIED 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.
