In a small tree plantation in bogland. This inscribed plaque was recorded by Robinson (1985, 20-21) who noted it below a pigeon loft in one of the gable walls of a building that had formerly been stables but was subsequently converted into an L-shaped house. The inscription reads:
'Remember as you pass Cecil Coulter and Louisa Alice his wife
who in this place 1918-1946 met sorrow and adversity with fortitude and
all who came their way with loving kindness and who in their day by
their vision and their labours made this wilderness a place of beauty.'
Their memorial tablet in Roundstone Protestant church (GA050-024001-), which mentions their son, Conrad Coryton, who was killed in World War I aged nineteen, may explain their sorrow (ibid.).
