An own goal from Barrow defender Kyle Cameron earned Newport a 1-0 win and a vital three points in their battle to avoid relegation.
Cameron, a former County loanee, headed into his own net with 20 minutes remaining to settle a low-quality contest at Rodney Parade.
The victory – only the second in 15 games in all competitions for Nelson Jardim’s men – lifts them to 19th place in League Two, seven points clear of the bottom two and only one behind Barrow in 18th.
After an uneventful first hour, Jardim made a triple change and two of the substitutes combined as his side finally made the breakthrough in fortuitous fashion in the 70th minute.
Cameron Antwi curled a tempting ball into the box which Cameron felt compelled to intercept, but he could only send his header into his own net under pressure from Courtney Baker-Richardson, wrongfooting goalkeeper Paul Farman.
Barrow substitute Elliot Newby fired wide and fellow replacement Connor Mahoney was denied by Nick Townsend in stoppage time as County held on.
