What is recorded here
Largatreany in County Donegal is a lost burial ground where human skulls once appeared, hinting at late medieval death and memory. The exact grave has vanished from human knowledge, leaving behind a clean field and a unanswered question. What is forgotten there may still be waiting to be remembered.
OS 15 (Precise location unknown) 46. A number of human skulls were reported from this area in circumstances which might suggest a late medieval burial ground (NMI). It was not possible to locate the site of the burials.
