What is recorded here

The Relig in Baile Na Mban is a circular burial ground marked by two concentric collapsed stone walls, with a five-metre gap between them and the northern outer section missing. It sits in poor pasture surrounded by rocky boggy land, where field clearance builders later added stones to the ancient structure. The inner wall still shows original facings and measures about 2.60 metres wide, suggesting a deliberate boundary for death rather than ordinary pasture. Local tradition identifies the site as a graveyard, giving the ruined stones a solemn purpose beneath the harsh Donegal sky.

The original wall facings are evident in places and the estimated width of the inner wall is c. 2.60m. The site which is known locally as the 'Relig' and believed to have been a graveyard is situated in poor pasture surrounded by rocky boggy land.

A circular burial ground with concentric stone walls, likely dating to the Bronze Age; its dual-wall construction and robbed condition suggest a significant communal or ritual site, though specific typology remains unclear.
