History
There is a poorly preserved Portal tomb (sometimes called a Dolmen) located at Collopswell, near Newbawn,[2] which dates from the Neolithic period.
The area was controlled by the Devereux family of Adamstown and Ballymagir[3] for hundreds of years soon after the arrival of the Normans (1169). They acquired the area from the de Headon family[4] in the late 13th century. Newbawn was part of the 'Manor of Colpe', which in 1669 was granted to Robert Leigh of Rosegarland.[5]
After this time, and particularly throughout the 18th century, a family named Sweetman were very prominent in the Newbawn area.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
