Heritage and Conservation

Cultural heritage includes tangible culture (such as buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art, and artefacts), intangible culture (such as folklore, traditions, language, and knowledge), and natural heritage (including culturally significant landscapes, and biodiversity). UNESCO

Fingal Heritage Office works proactively to support communities and heritage groups to undertake projects, events and local heritage initiatives.

Drumanagh promontory fort is a nationally important archaeological site and is of international significance in terms of Ireland’s relationship with the Roman world. Digging Drumanagh is the first scientific excavation ever undertaken at the site.

From the time of the Vikings Fingal has been recognised as having its own distinctive qualities, from gently undulating hills and an extensive coastline, to a rich agricultural, archaeological and historical heritage.
