This project aims to research, explore and – where possible – provide public access (both physical and/or digital) to sites of defence heritage interest in the Binevenagh and Coastal Lowlands area.
Working with the landowner, the WWII Trainer Dome at Limavady will be conserved and repurposed as a multi-use event space.
Similarly, in partnership with HMP Magilligan, CCGBC and the MoD the Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery at Magilligan will be conserved and repurposed as an interpretive hub and visitor area relating to defence heritage from the Napolaeonic period to the present day.
All conservation works will be carried out in consultation with the Department for Communities Historic Environment Division.
This project will ensure that the local community has a greater role in the management and maintenance of these unique assets and provide new public access to previously closed sites.
