Historical records provide evidence of ancient woodland at the Glen of the Downs, Co. Wicklow
2023
Overview
The Glen of the Downs, Co. Wicklow, contains an oak woodland that is considered to be of high conservation value. A review of the available historical sources was undertaken to elucidate the woodland history of this site. This involved a reassessment of the Down Survey maps, an examination of other historical maps and artworks depicting the Glen, and a review of historical texts containing references to woodland cover at this location. The results provide evidence that woodland has been present at the Glen of the Downs since at least c. 1529, and possibly earlier. This study confirms that, though it has been subject to considerable anthropogenic impact, the Glen of the Downs meets the definition of an ancient woodland.
