HOUSE & BAWN (now Belleisle House) in Belleisle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

House and bawn, now Belleisle House, stands in County Fermanagh as a post-medieval survivor from the seventeenth century or later. The name itself admits the shape: a dwelling wrapped in a defensive bawn, likely built when trust between neighbours was thinner and violence more common. It may have sheltered a family, stored grain, or resisted a raid, though no single event is recorded. What remains is the idea made visible, a household strong enough to be worth marking on a map and preserving through change.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOUSE & BAWN (now Belleisle 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, Belleisle House is remembered as a significant example of post-medieval architecture in Northern Ireland and is associated with the historical development of the Belleisle area.
