Doonfore Bawn Castle

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Doonfore Bawn Castle is a rectangular fortified house built around 1620 in County Sligo, preserving original fireplaces, window seats, and a spiral staircase inside thick limestone walls. It may have risen where an earlier Gaelic stronghold stood, giving a planter family both comfort and defence amid the turbulence of the plantation era. Four centuries of Irish winters have not erased its shape, and it still stands isolated in north Sligo farmland, visible from the public road like a quiet warning about whose hands once held the land.
Doonfore Bawn Castle is recorded as a archaeological place in County Sligo. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
