Are you interested in learning how you can get involved in recording fieldnames?
Every field around the country has had a name at one time or other. This name may have described the lie of the land, the owners, buildings that may have once stood in or close to the field, the purpose of the field, size of the field or some event that took place in the field in a bygone time.
Roscommon Field Names Project aims to help communities & individuals record, log and understand fieldnames in their area. The field names gathered will become an invaluable cultural heritage asset both for the region and for future generations. Field name research is important and valuable work.
A two hour workshop will take place on this project in Boyle Library on Wednesday 24th September from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm.
As part of the Roscommon Field Names Project, we would like to hear your knowledge on field names, along with the stories, meanings and memories behind them. No booking is required, refreshments provided.
If you would like to get involved please email [email protected]
This project is supported by the Heritage Council as an action of Co. Roscommon Heritage Plan.
