What is recorded here

Tree-lined avenue/landscape feature, laid out c. 1720. Approximately 900 metres long (running roughly east-west) and 75 metres wide. Located to the northeast of Longford Town centre. River Camlin runs along the south side.

This curious and picturesque tree-lined avenue could be of considerable antiquity. It attractively links the St. John's Church of Ireland church (13002006) with the associated rectory (13008015) to the east. It was possibly originally laid out to link the Dominican Friary of St. Brigid (LF013-026---) to the west end, no longer extant, with the remains of a small-single cell church (LF013-016---/13008014), probably pre-1700 in date, to the east. It now acts as an important public amenity and represents an interesting, and unusual, element of the built heritage of Longford Town.
