This woodland site on the Armagh/louth border SW of Newry is begging for restoration. Bounded by forestry on both sides with a deep gorge between, supporting a nice array of species. Also an area brimming in local history, being one of the last Gaeltachtaí on east coast c. early 20th Century
Nov 28, 2025 10:34A deep hollow is know locally as Poll an Mhadaidh/Cove of the Dog (wolf?), now it is just a poor plantation but the fern-rich understory is still there. A few native oaks and ash can be found but also loads of rhodo and Tsuga regen. Historic beech planting too. But the potential is all there.
