新围 (龙跃头)

觐龙围门楼

新围又名觐龙围位于香港新界粉岭龙跃头,是龙跃头邓族聚居的围村,为龙跃头“五围六村”之一。围村门楼于1988年先被列为香港法定古迹,围墙及更楼则于1993年被列为法定古迹。

历史

龙跃头邓族由锦田邓族分支而来,据说在十四世纪时已在此建村,围村门楼的石额刻有“觐龙乾隆甲子岁”字样,所以围墙可能于该年(乾隆甲子年即1744年)才兴建。

结构

觐龙围四面有砖墙环绕,约四米高,以青砖筑砌而成,墙身有枪孔,四角建有更楼,供守望之用,门楼位于北面,是独特的两进式建筑结构,外围用磨平青麻可砌成,楼顶有四正脊成船形装饰十分别致,围门装有连环铁门,并有对联写上“觐龙绵世泽 郡马著家声”。原有护城河环绕围村,但现已填平成为停车场。围内布局基本依旧,正中主巷尽头为神坛,供奉文武二帝,与正门相对。围内旧房舍已遭拆卸及改建成新型村屋。

维修

围村门楼于1988年修复完工,于门楼公告为古迹后,围村司理同意将围墙及四角更楼列为古迹。当时围墙及更楼部分已倒塌,修缮工程由政府资助,于1994至95年全面重修。

觐龙村

觐龙村位于觐龙围以西,是建有大量新型村屋的村落。

食物环境卫生署于二零零七年仲春完成翻新区域市政局遗产——旱厕(编号:N-64,位于觐龙围青砖围墙西北方,大榕树下,垃圾站旁边),将其改为冲水式厕所,并予以扩充,设有坐厕、自动电子水龙头、干手机女厕厕格数目增加,以及另设残疾人士厕格,改善厕所内外照明系统,方便残障人士游客本地村民使用。
