This report is the outcome of a pilot project. It includes nine audits
covering different geographical areas in Northern Ireland – North
Belfast, Downpatrick, Armagh, Upper Lough Erne, Strabane, Hillsborough,
Carrickfergus, Upper Ards and Bellaghy. The audits examine the heritage
assets of a defined area, alongside the capacity and activities of the
relevant heritage organisations. They aim to build a picture and
identify opportunities for development that can further support our
historic environment while strengthening community cohesion,
opportunities and economic growth.
The audits have been commissioned by Historic Environment Division, Department for Communities and carried out by external consultants and are presented here as a source of reference, and a basis for further discussion.
