County Mayo is part of the province of Connacht and is named after the village of Mayo, now generally known as Mayo Abbey. It is bordered on the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean and is the third-largest of Ireland’s 32 counties in area and 15th largest in terms of population.

  • Some Aspects of the Breeding Biology of the Swifts of County Mayo, Ireland Chris & Lynda Huxley
    Some aspects of the breeding biology of the swifts of County Mayo, Ireland Chris & Lynda Huxley 3rd largest Irish county covering 5,585 square kilometers (after Cork and Galway), and with a reputation for being one of the wetter western counties, a total of 1116 wetland sites have been identified in the county. Project Objectives • To investigate the breeding biology of swifts in County Mayo • To assess the impact of weather on parental feeding patterns • To determine the likelihood that inclement weather significantly affects the adults’ ability to rear young • To assess the possibility that low population numbers are a result of weather conditions and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.

  • The Old Coastguard Station, Ross Strand, Killala, Co. Mayo
    The Old Coastgua rd Station, Ross Strand, Killala, Co. Mayo This is a unique opportunity to obtain an important historical building that has been carefully converted into a terrace of six 2-storey homes. The conversion has been very carefully carried out to preserve as many features of the old building as possible and retain its original charm and appearance. The location is truly spectacular, on the edge of the beach of the beautiful Ross Strand. The Strand lies in a sheltered bay close to the estuary of the River Moy. It looks out over the Atlantic to Bartra Island, Enniscrone and the open ocean. This is one of the best beaches in County Mayo with large stretches of soft sand and amazing scenery. The coastguard station is approached from the Price Region: €550,000 beach by original stone stairs. There are five similar townhouses, all with the same layout: A living/dining room, kitchen and guest W.C. downstairs and two bedrooms, each with ensuite shower rooms, upstairs. The sixth house utilises the end lookout tower and has three bedrooms, a ground floor bathroom and a study in the tower. All the properties were finished to a good standard but now need some cosmetic refurbishment and modernisation. Until recently the houses were rented out as self-catering holiday homes and achieved good occupancy rates during the summer months. FEATURES One of the best coastal locations in the West of Ireland. Situated on the beach of what is widely considered to be the best strand in Mayo. Spectacular views of Killala Bay, Bartra Island and Enniscrone.

  • The Few Weeks of My Life That I Spent in Ireland Were a Wonderful Experience and a Good Beginning
    The few weeks of my life that I spent in Ireland were a wonderful experience and a good beginning. The Jane C. Waulbaum scholarship allowed me to have this experience, as the funds were used for travel and living expenses, and I thank the Archaeological Institute of America for this fantastic opportunity. I arrived in Dooagh, the village where the Achill Field School is located, nearly twenty-four hours after I departed from the United States, tired and filled with excitement. Not only was I taking the first step in my archaeological career, but was also in Ireland, the very place that I want to pursue my future intellectual endeavors. We did not begin fieldwork immediately. On the first day we had an introduction to the field school, including lectures about Irish archaeology, the history of the field school, and what we would be doing for the next few weeks. The site that we would be working on was the house of the famous Captain Boycott, dated to AD 1854. When Boycott arrived in Keem, a small village to the west of Dooagh, he needed to construct a house quickly and start farming, so he chose to construct it out of "galvanized iron", which is actually corrugated steel. As far as I understand it, he was able to construct his dwelling in less than a week, and added other phases to the house later, this time made from stone. Phase one, the "galvanized iron" portion of the house, at some point caught fire and was destroyed. It was this part of the house that we were excavating.
