TWO C17TH HOUSES within BAWN in Derrygonnelly

TWO C17TH HOUSES within BAWN

What is recorded here

Two seventeenth-century houses stand within the bawn at Derrygonnelly, preserving a post-medieval domestic arrangement now scheduled for protection. The compact courtyard suggests residents valued privacy and defensible space during a turbulent era. Their survival transforms a ordinary farmstead into a rare witness of Fermanagh life, inviting imagination about the families who cooked, argued and loved behind walls that time has forgotten but law has remembered.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO C17TH HOUSES within BAWN. Recorded period: C17TH; POST-MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

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