Recorded monuments
- LF009-022 House - fortified house
Description
On a rise in pastureland overlooking a stream to the NW. A large, gable-fronted, two-storey building, within a square-shaped enclosure or bawn (LF009-022003-), is depicted on the Down Survey (1655-6) map of Clonbroney parish (NLI, MS 719). Described in 1986 (SMR file) as a level platform on the brow of a low hill bounded by a scarp on the NW, N and E. No visible surface trace of the house survived. Archaeological testing carried out in 2004 to the NE revealed no evidence of any settlement of 17th-century date (Halpin 2007, 250). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 20 September 2012
- LF009-022003 Bawn
Description
Associated with a fortified house (LF009-022003-). Depicted as a square enclosure or bawn, surrounding the house, on the Down Survey (1655-6) map of Clonbroney parish (NLI, MS 719). No visible surface trace survives. A rectangular field (c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 30m NNE-SSW) shown on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map may mirror its outline. Only the N and E sides of this field, which mark the townland boundary, survive. A short section of walling evident on the N side, again, may mirror the line of the bawn wall.
