Designed Landscapes
In the townland of Carrowmore in County Galway, a tree-ring survives in the landscape, a quiet and easily overlooked feature that belongs to a tradition of deliberate, ornamental planting once common across Irish estates.
Tree-rings, sometimes called shelter belts or ring plantations, were laid out in circular or oval formations, typically on rising ground, and served both practical and aesthetic purposes. They broke the wind, marked a boundary, or simply announced that someone with means and intentions had shaped this particular corner of the countryside.
