Archaeological Heritage


Mayo has a rich archaeological heritage. This wealth is reflected in the Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) for Co. Mayo. The RMP, as established under the National Monuments (Amendment) Act, 1994, includes recorded sites and features of historical and archaeological importance. This may be viewed in detailed maps in the County Council offices. Below is a list of the major sites of archaeological importance in Co. Mayo, which are in State Ownership or Guardianship.
