It is really great to see just how much our shared heritage means to the next generation once they get the opportunity to experience it for themselves.

Once their eyes are opened to the archaeology and stories within the landscape, heritage suddenly becomes visible everywhere around them.

Another very successful trip to Rathcroghan Visitor Centre by one of our local schools, helping to build awareness, curiosity and a sense of connection with this incredible landscape from an early age.

These young people are the future custodians of our archaeological heritage, and it is fantastic to see their enthusiasm grow with every visit.

In October 2025, we began conservation work on damaged sections of the Northern Mucklaghs (RO021-042015). These works were undertaken under Section 14 Ministerial Consent.

The intervention used the same biodegradable Greenfix erosion-control matting previously trialled at the Southern Mucklaghs (RO021-042016) and Rathnadarve (RO022-057004). Each targeted section was carefully cleaned by hand before the material was secured in place and nature was allowed to play its part.

Although vegetation is regenerating slowly, the comparison between January and September 2026 shows encouraging progress. Most importantly, the matting protected the exposed sections and helped prevent further erosion and loss of archaeological material during the exceptionally dry summer, demonstrating the value of this sensitive, low-impact approach to monument conservation.

Continuing Farming Rathcroghan’s enhanced community engagement programme, supported by the National Monuments Service, the Royal Sites of Ireland and Rathcroghan Visitor Centre, Alan visited Clooneyquinn, Killina and St Mary’s, Strokestown, to speak with the next generation of heritage keepers and perhaps a few future archaeologists too.
With local heritage information packs delivered to the pupils, the children can now explore the archaeology, history and stories of their own areas at home with their families. Their parents, meanwhile, may need to keep an eye on the garden and be ready to refill any archaeological test trenches once the search for skeletons begins.
