What is recorded here
Indicated was a designed landscape feature in County Galway, marked as a small irregular field in 1838 and an enclosed mixed tree plantation in 1920. It measured roughly 39m NW-SE and 33m NE-SW, sitting in undulating pastureland about 400m west of Danesfort House. No visible surface trace survives, but the cartographic evidence suggests it belonged to the house, perhaps a private garden or shade walk now erased by pasture and time.
