Description

At the top of John Tynans barley fields, within a striking circular copse of trees, is the early medieval fort that lends the townland its name An Dn Mr, the big fort a reminder of turbulent times of lore. Nestled between the Slieve Bloom Mountains & the Castlecomer Plateau of County Laois is this westerly-facing, lowland terroir, of limestone-derived loamy drift that harbours a compact gravelly tilth.
