Designed landscape – tree-ring, Coolyduff, Co. Cork

At Coolyduff in County Cork, a tree-ring sits within the broader category of designed landscape features, the kind of deliberate planting that once signalled intention and ownership across the Irish countryside.

Tree-rings, sometimes called ring plantations, are circular or near-circular arrangements of trees, typically planted on elevated ground, that served both practical and aesthetic purposes on improved estates. They provided shelter, acted as landmarks, and occasionally marked boundaries or points of significance within a managed demesne.
