What is recorded here

Bellanagare is a bawn in County Roscommon, Ireland. Denis O'Conor received back some O'Conor lands in 1720 and built a house there in 1727. His son Charles O'Conor, the antiquarian, later called it home. The square walled yard still holds the shape of that recovery, while the house angle marks where memory and property met.

On a slight S-facing slope. Denis O'Conor received a partial return of O'Conor lands in 1720 and built a house (RO015-048001-) here in 1727 which became the home of his son Charles O'Conor, the antiquarian. The house is at the NW angle of a walled courtyard or bawn (dims 34m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by masonry walls (T 0.7m; max. H 3m), which does not appear to be an ancient structure.
