What is recorded here

Macosquin rose in County Derry as a plantation village where merchant tailors, a mill, a house and a bawn shared one lived world. The name suggests clothing trade rather than distant legend, while the bawn reminds that protection and profit walked together. Post-medieval hands built the place for daily use, and that practical origin is still worth remembering.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLANTATION VILLAGE SITE with MILL; HOUSE and BAWN: MACOSQUIN or MERCHANT TAYLORS' BUILDINGS. Recorded period: POST-MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
