## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- LI007-010006: Deer park, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI007-010006-. 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.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
