Lettermullen Playground

Lettermullen playground is located next to Comhar Chuigéal Teo, a community Co-Op that was the driving force behind this project. The playground is designed for children from the age of two to fifteen with a junior and senior area. There is also seating available so parents can relax while the children have fun and test out all of the equipment. The playground is opposite the Church and the national school so it is very easy to find. The spinner bowl and supernova are two of the most popular pieces of equipment in the playground, and children can test their skills of balance and enjoy spinning til they’re dizzy

Excitement

Digital Mapping of Graveyards in Ceantar na nOileáin

Mapping the cemeteries of Ceantar na nOileán with the assistance of volunteers, and the local people's knowledge and expertise regarding local place names and customs. It is a collaboration of engaging with our community through research and local oral history.

The survey techniques applied ensure that accurate data relating to graveyards is recorded and this data is flexible and can be adapted for future use, including online and mobile applications and academic research.

We carried out a drone survey on 6 graveyards/burial sites which will be compatible with online desktop mapping and the Galway County Council Heritage Site.

Graveyard mapping is also essential for visitors/families who are carrying out research for ancestry purposes. This mapping project will offer virtual or satellite images of the grounds and photos of the headstones plus descriptions of types of graves and materials used.

We conducted a GPS survey of all the following graveyards and grounds in Ceantar na nOileán including videography and photography.

Béal a’ Daingean Graveyard.
Eanach Mheáin Graveyard.
Leitir Móir Graveyard.
Trá Bháin Graveyard.
Reilig an tSean Bhaile, Graveyard.
Cuigéal Graveyard.

When completed Graveyard Maps will be put in place in all graveyards.

This is a legacy project, important in terms of preserving our heritage and culture and will have a great impact in Ceantar nOileán and the South Connemara region as well as the wider diaspora.

Over 40,000 graveyard memorial records are now being released as part of the Galway County Digital Mapping of Graveyards Project. The project aims to support our diaspora & communities to connect with their past by unlocking valuable graveyard information and making it available as open-source data that will be free to use—funded by Galway County Council, GRD Forum Connemara and the Heritage Council and with the advice and support of Marie Mannion, Heritage Officer, Galway Co Council and Christy Cunniffe (County Archaeologist).
