Marks of Time Strabane

An exhibition celebrating the extent, varity and quality of the built heritage of the Strabane area.  Concentrating on the historic 'barony', which was the administrative focus of the area from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, the  heritage of the area is explored via 50 illustrations which consider its history from earliest times to the present and reveal how this history has left its mark.

Acompanying the exhibition on 2 February, will be a talk  expanding on the theme and incorporating around 100 illustrations.       Both events are free to all.

Ballyrennan Chambered Grave, Baronscourt

Ballyrenan Chambered Grave is one of a small complex of two similar prehistoric monuments on the hill beside the former Post Inn at Baronscourt. Dating from the megalithic period, arrowheads, beads and pottery shards have been found at the site. Both would have originally been within cairns of stones. Today, they are an enigmatic and characterful reminder of the long history of occupation of this  place.
