Bonkwerd, Hamlet in Waadhoeke, Netherlands.

Bonkwerd consists of several scattered farms situated along the Bonkwerterreed road, which requires crossing a cattle grid for access.

The settlement dates back to the late Iron Age around 250 BC, with its first written mention as Buurckwert in 1487, later appearing as Buynckwert.

The hamlet name combines werd, referring to an elevated dwelling mound, possibly with Bonika meaning little warrior or the Frisian surname Bonninga.

Located northeast of Wommels and southwest of Spannum, Bonkwerd maintains a population of approximately 10 residents at an elevation of 0.3 meters.

The hamlet changed administrative boundaries twice, belonging to Hennaarderadeel until 1984, then Littenseradiel until 2018, before becoming part of Waadhoeke municipality.
