What is recorded here

Situated towards the bottom of an E-facing slope, with the S-N Ballymoat stream c. 200m to the E. Loughdeheen was originally owned by the Knights Hospitallers of Kilbarry (WA017-003001-), but after the Suppression it passed to the Wyse family who probably built the gatehouse (WA017-018001-) and bawn. The subrectangular bawn (int. dims. 40-58m NE-SW; 50m NW-SE) is defined by a mortared stone wall (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8-2.4m; T 1m) on the NE, SE and the S part of the SW sides. A stone-faced earthen bank (Wth 5m; H 1.2-1.7m) completes the N part of the SW side. The bawn is now divided into three fields and covers c. 0.3ha.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
