Some examples of built heritage includes (but is not confined to): 18th and 19th century buildings within towns, vernacular and rural buildings, bridges and industrial structures, street furniture and 20th century defence structures such as pillboxes. Built heritage also includes archaeological monuments such as megalithic monuments and medieval castles.

Vernacular heritage forms an intrinsic part of our rural and urban landscapes. It comprises houses, structures, outbuildings, farm buildings and other features which were built without formal design and using local materials. Examples of vernacular heritage in Co.
