Monaghan Field Names Pilot project 2024 – The Clogher Historical Society will make their final presentation of the field-names project to Monaghan County Council in Doohamlet Community Centre on Tuesday 29th October at 7.30pm, this is open to anyone who would like to attend and see how the pilot scheme went across the county. The final submissions from this area went in last week and we are extremely grateful to everyone who participated thus far. Over the winter the Heritage Group will continue to mark-up maps with assistance from local landowners in preparation for next year’s phase of this project. We have plenty more land owners to get in contact with, as the pilot scheme timeline was very short, we only got to meet and speak with a small number of people, but yet we have already collected some fantastic information. As the saying goes – a lot done but more to do. Watch this space.
