Burial ground in Largatreany

Burial ground

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. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
