Etymology

Newbawn in the Irish language is Bábhun Nua. Nua means 'new'. A bábhun is literally a walled enclosure. Often this is applied to the wall that encloses the yard surrounding a castle, though this may or may not be the meaning here. It can also mean an enclosure for cows.[2]

History

There is a poorly preserved Portal tomb (sometimes called a Dolmen) located at Collopswell, near Newbawn,[3] which dates from the Neolithic period.

The area was controlled by the Devereux family of Adamstown and Ballymagir[4] for hundreds of years soon after the arrival of the Normans (1169). They acquired the area from the de Headon family[5] in the late 13th century. Newbawn was part of the 'Manor of Colpe', which in 1669 was granted to Robert Leigh of Rosegarland.[6]

After this time, and particularly throughout the 18th century, a family named Sweetman were very prominent in the Newbawn area.^{[citation needed]}

Amenities

Today, the village contains a shop and post office, a pub (Foleys Bar), a primary (national) school,[7] a Roman Catholic church and an adjoining cemetery.[8] The church was built in 1889. The local Gaelic Athletic Association club is Adamstown GAA Club. It also has a community centre.
