What is recorded here
Drubanagher House stood in Killybodagh during the post-medieval and seventeenth-century periods, preserving the shape of a domestic bawn rather than a distant military fortress. Its stones likely marked a family boundary where kitchens, bedrooms and yard work continued through changing laws. The house may have belonged to someone who measured life in harvests, births and the arrival of strangers, not in royal dates.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOUSE & BAWN: DRUMBANAGHER HOUSE. Recorded period: C17TH; POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Built in the 17th century, Drumbanagher House is remembered as a historic residence associated with the Killybodagh area, reflecting post-medieval domestic and defensive architecture in Northern Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
