- There is a tree in the lawn of Miss Deane's Longraigue or Suttons lawn as it was called called Sir John Moore's tree.
It was here that Sir John halted + bivouached before he went forward to meet the insurgents at Horetown. There are three other trees close beside it forming a kind of small square. It was here that an iron gate used to be hung between the four trees, a fire was lighted underneath and a beast or bullock roasted on it, the meat of course being then distributed to the soldiers. - Collector
