Description

'Mapping Monuments' is a community heritage project in Northern Ireland exploring the legacies and landscapes of the early Ordnance Survey (OS) within the Binevenagh Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The aim of 'Mapping Monuments' is to combine archaeological and historical research to highlight the importance of the sites and monuments associated with the OS in and around Lough Foyle. Community-based project volunteers are working with staff from Queens University Belfast and Causeway Coast & Glens Heritage Trust, and have been engaged with local field-survey and documentary research to understand better the field-operations of the OS who were surveying in this area 200 years ago.
