Fingal Fieldnames Project

The Fingal Fieldnames Project aims to explore and record the rich legacy of fieldnames and related heritage in our local landscapes. In a developing county like Fingal it is important to record this information before it is lost.

Since 2018, volunteers across the county were given the training by Abarta Heritage to record the field names of their localities. They have been consulting old maps and documents, speaking to farmers and gathering as much knowledge as they can.

'Back of the Yard', 'Front of the House', 'Ladies Stairs', 'Long Leg' and 'Collier’s Horn' are just some of the field names in Fingal which have been collected. Together these names tell us much about the history and heritage of our local landscapes.
