BALLYMACARTHUR, GREENCASTLE

This land was considered to be Yield Class 24 at time of planting. The crop was thinned twice and clear felled at 28 years old, returning a moderate harvest mix of firewood through to sawlog, which would be consistent with a Yield Class 24 site. The replanting licence is for a monoculture Sitka Spruce forest replacing the 40% Diverse Forest in the first rotation. This ground will produce a very good Sitka Spruce second rotation crop.

The land (comprised on Folios DL12259 & DL33809F) is accessed by 100 metres of right of way road which has been maintained in good condition throughout the rotation of the first crop and fixed subsequent to final harvest. The right of way road runs from the Ballymacarthur County road which can take a harvesting lorry from the site to the main Moville Shrove road. The property has a Mains Water connection to a Water Group Scheme in Ballymacarthur. The water has not been connected to the property and the connection is at the county road.
