The Court Plantation House and Bawn is a post-medieval fortification located in Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site comprises a defended plantation house with an associated bawn, a type of fortified enclosure characteristic of English and Scottish settler habitation in early modern Ireland. Dating to the seventeenth century, the complex reflects the defensive architectural requirements of the plantation period, when such structures served to protect colonial settlers and their holdings from hostile local populations. The bawn would have functioned as a secure courtyard for livestock and a refuge during times of unrest, whilst the accompanying house represents the domestic and administrative centre of the plantation enterprise in this region.
