What is recorded here
Indicated marks a designed tree-ring on the demesne lands of Rathcoffey House, where a small grove still appears on the 1838 map and an enclosure remains outlined today. The ring may have been planted after 1700 to give the house a shaped horizon, a place for walk, shadow or ceremony. Even if its purpose has faded, the ground still holds the shape of human intention.
Situated on the demesne lands of Rathcoffey House located 225m to NNE. Cropmark of small enclosure visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph. Appears to be the remains of a tree-ring of post 1700 date as it is located on the demesne lands of Rathcoffey House. A small grove of trees is depicted at this location on the 1838 ed.
