Farming At Rathcroghan
Rathcroghan is a well-preserved, prehistoric and medieval archaeological landscape located in rich agricultural pasture at the very heart of county Roscommon. This landscape of archaeological sites is on the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht’s tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Status (Royal Sites of Ireland) in recognition of its national and international significance.
The Farming Rathcroghan Project proposes to improve the socio-economic circumstances of farming, through testing innovations in the provision of a range of environmental and ecosystem services designed to protect and maintain the cultural landscape (e.g. landscape quality and archaeological condition, aesthetic and cultural services, promoting quality food production, enhancing biodiversity, improving carbon sequestration and water quality).
