This fortified house and bawn is a post-medieval fortification located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, dating to the early seventeenth century and associated with the significant events of 1641. The site comprises a defended residential enclosure typical of plantation-era Irish fortifications, combining domestic accommodation with a protective bawn wall designed to provide security during the turbulent period of English settlement and the subsequent Irish Rebellion of 1641. The fortification's presence at this location reflects the strategic defensive concerns of English and Scottish planters during the Ulster Plantation, and its association with a recorded battle of 1641 indicates its role in the armed conflicts that characterised this pivotal moment in Irish history. The monument represents an important archaeological record of early modern settlement patterns and the military architecture developed to protect colonial interests in seventeenth-century Ulster.
