What is recorded here

Killiaghan and Gort is a bawn in County Roscommon, Ireland. A rectangular enclosure measures about 52 metres north-south and 28 metres east-west, with a fortified house inside and an L-shaped walled garden to the west and north. The east edge has been lost to a public road, but the low scarps and drystone wall still mark the shape of a household that once kept its own ground.
On a slight ENE-facing slope. The fortified house (RO045-107001-) is within a rectangular bawn (dims c. 52m N-S; c. 28m E-W) defined by a low scarp (H 0.3m) down to the interior at N and an external scarp (H 0.4m) at S. Its W edge may be defined by a N-S drystone wall, and its E edge has been removed by a N-S public road. W and N of the bawn is an L-shaped walled garden (RO045-107003-).
