Loughros Placenames Book – Community Interest Poll
Loughros Heritage Group will publish our placenames book later this year. The book will be the culmination of many years work collecting the minor placenames on the Loughros area. These are the names given to fields, rocks, streams, coastal and fishing features, buildings and houses etc. The placenames form part of our area’s cultural heritage and are a lasting legacy of our ancestors’ interaction with the surrounding landscape.
We are trying to gauge the interest there might be in this production, given that such a publication has never been published in the area before.To get an accurate figure we have created a poll for people, whether living locally or away from home, to indicate their interest. We would appreciate if you could share this request with interested people not on Facebook.
The poll has been posted on the Around Ardara Facebook group – see link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/194837983991807/permalink/2410190319123218/
Alternatively, people may wish to contact: loughrosheritagegroup@gmail.com
Thank you for your time – Loughros Heritage Group committee
