Tullaghoge Fort, a royal power centre which came
to historical prominence in the 11th Century, was a ceremonial seat for the Kings of Tyrone (Cenel nEogain,
later to be known as ‘The O Neills’).
Tandem designed and produced content for interpretive panels and lecterns which help to build anticipation as visitors of all ages journey up the hill towards the fort. These panels incorporated poetry produced in collaboration with local pupils, reflecting on the site’s significance.
We capitalised on the fort’s hilltop position by designing conceptual
larger-than-life figures to appear on the horizon, immersing visitors
in the story of the site in an atmospheric, evocative way. We also commissioned watercolour illustrations for the panels which
incorporated these giant, elegant figures, reinforcing the link
between the interpretive elements on site.
