The Mayo’s Fieldnames project is dedicated to recording and preserving the traditional field names across the region, capturing an essential part of the area’s cultural and linguistic heritage. 

Field names, often rich with local history, folklore, and geographical insights, provide a unique lens into the lives and practices of Mayo’s rural communities over generations. 

By documenting these names and their meanings, the project seeks to safeguard this invaluable knowledge, connecting people to their land and history, while also offering resources for historians, linguists, and local residents interested in Mayo’s cultural landscape. And offering a rich source of inspiration for creatives in Mayo.
