PLANTATION HOUSE & BAWN in Inishargy — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Inishargy in County Down held a Post-Medieval and 17th-century plantation house surrounded by a protective bawn. The structure marked a sudden human claim on the landscape, forcing a new domestic order into the local terrain. Whether it housed an ambitious planter or a displaced family, the bawn still implies fear of the dark and the need to control what entered.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLANTATION HOUSE & BAWN. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Built during the 17th century as part of the Ulster Plantation, Plantation House & Bawn in Inishargy was likely held by English or Scottish settlers under royal grant. It is remembered as a tangible remnant of the colonial settlement policies that reshaped land ownership and demographics in post-medieval Northern Ireland.
