Leitrim Fieldnames Workshop

Fieldnames are a unique and important connection to the land and to our past. They can tell us a lot about our local area, characters who once lived there, the landscape and interesting natural and built features in the locality. Almost every field once had a name, but these names are now slowly being lost to us and forgotten, as they were rarely written down.

Fieldnames have never been officially recorded before, but the Leitrim Fieldnames Project is now looking for volunteers to record their local area and to preserve this important link with the past.

If you would like to find out more about the project, or record your local fieldnames, come along to our workshop in Dromahair Library on Tuesday 18th August at 7 pm.

Abarta Heritage are delivering this project on behalf of Leitrim Heritage and Leitrim County Council with support from The Heritage Council.
