Hamiltonsbawn or '''Hamilton's Bawn''' is a village in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, five miles (8 km) east of Armagh. It lies within the civil parish of Mullabrack and the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon District Council area. It had a population of 895 people (343 households) in the 2011 census.
==History== ===Name=== The name Hamiltonsbawn is associated with John Hamilton (–1639), a brother of Sir James Hamilton (–1644), who owned large estates in the area and reportedly established a number of settlements in County Armagh and County Cavan. Hamilton, who is reputed to have founded the settlement in the 17th century, had a fortified house and defensive courtyard (or bawn) in the area. The bawn was destroyed during the Irish Rebellion of 1641.
