Townland Signs
To locate, refurbish or replace
A team has been set up to locate, refurbish or replace the many missing townland signs around Newport. These townland signs were made in 1986 by Foróige members. You can read all about it in a fascinating article in the 2012 Burrishoole Parish Magazine (p.49). If you know the location of any of the original signs, please email us at tourism@newportmayo.ie and we will pass the information on to the project team.
