• LI007-010006 Deer park
  Description

  The deer park garden now on the demesne of Glenstal Abbey was originally built in 1683 by George Evans who acquired the forfeited lands and castle of Cappercullen in 1667 (Murphy 2014, 20. The deer park was built to the NW of the medieval castle of Cappercullen (LI007-010001-). In 1667 the forfeited castle and lands of Cappercullen were granted to George Evans (Westropp 1906-07, 100). Around 1680 a walled garden (LI007-010005-) was built to the W of the medieval castle (Murphy 2014, 19). In 1682 King Charles II granted George Evans 'the younger' a charter to establish a deer park c. 500 acres in size on his lands at Cappercullen and Murroe (ibid.). A raised walkway running from a corner of the walled garden prevented deer from encroaching on the gardens of Cappercullen House which was located immediately SW of the walled garden. This house was built by Lord Carbery in the early 18th century (ibid., 21). Modern tennis courts now stand on the site of the levelled 18th century brick house.
