What is recorded here

The Corpse Field in Mullyvea, County Donegal, appears on old maps as a burial ground, yet only a small grassed-over mound remains in the fair pasture east of Kiltooris Lough. The land has swallowed its markers and likely its names, leaving behind a quiet shape that invites wondering about the bodies once laid there. What is missing is not emptiness but time, changing a forgotten death into a living mystery beneath the grass.

Described as the 'Corpse Field' on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. This would suggest its use as a burial ground. There are no features in the field now, other than a small grassed-over mound. It is located in an area of fair pasture to the E of Kiltooris Lough. 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.'
