What is recorded here

Bawn in Graystown is a vanished fortress hidden in ordinary grassland north of Graystown castle. Its sixty-metre stone edges still hold the shape of a house, two buildings and a wide enclosed yard, while a deserted medieval settlement waits in the field below. People may have watched roads, fields and passing danger from that low rocky rise before forgetting the names of everyone who lived there.

In grassland on low rise of rock outcrop with good views in all directions and deserted medieval settlement (TS054-037----) in field to S. Two fields to the N of Graystown castle (TS054-037002-) there are the grass-covered wall-footings of a rectangular tower (TS054-037010-) with wall-footings of a bawn (TS054-037011-). and house (TS054-037014-) with bawn (TS054-037015-) immediately to NE. Bawn (ext. dims. 61m NE-SW x 62m NW-SE) with rectangular house (TS054-037015-) in E angle. Two buildings (TS054-037016-; TS054-037017-) are located to the NW of the house, the former built onto the NW wall of the house and the latter built up against the inner face of the NE side of the bawn, in the N angle.
