Know your locality course in Roscommon later this month

Know your Locality - Roscommon! It is amazing what you can discover about your local area from the snug safety of your home.

Roscommon County Council Heritage Office is delighted to work with the Irish Archaeology Field School, to offer a FREE hybrid course (online plus in person field trip), that will take you step-by-step through the available online sources that will allow you to paint a picture of the geological, archaeological, and historical events that happened close to where you live.

You will need access to the internet and a device (preferably a laptop or PC). While the course will look at examples from throughout Ireland, it will focus on the geology, archaeology and history of the county of Roscommon. As such the course is aimed toward residents of Roscommon (who will be given preference for available course places) as well as enthusiasts of Roscommon’s natural and cultural heritage.

Course Dates and Times: February 28, March 2, 7, 9 and14 (five two-hour sessions (6.30pm – 8.30pm GMT) and a fieldtrip on March 5th.

The course is supported by The Heritage Council as an action of the County Roscommon Heritage Plan.

Previous Roscommon ‘Know Your Locality’ courses have been a great success and the office is looking forward to offering another opportunity for people in the county to take part in the free online course. Places are limited so don’t delay!’
