C17th bawn is a seventeenth-century fortified enclosure located in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises a defensive wall structure typical of Early Modern Ulster plantation fortifications, designed to protect settlers and their livestock during the period of English colonisation in Ireland. Such bawns represented a distinctive architectural response to the uncertain security conditions of early seventeenth-century Ulster, combining practical agricultural function with military defence through their substantial stone or earthen perimeters. The site reflects the material culture of the English and Scottish plantation settlers who established themselves in the province following the Flight of the Earls in 1607.
