Overview

History & significance

Two seventeenth-century houses within bawn is a post-medieval fortification located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site consists of domestic structures built within a defensive enclosure, or bawn, which represents a characteristic form of Anglo-Norman and planted settlement fortification in early modern Ireland. The two houses date to the seventeenth century and exemplify the domestic arrangements typical of defended plantation-era settlements in the region. The bawn itself would have served a protective function for inhabitants and livestock during a period of considerable social and military upheaval in Ulster.
