What is recorded here

Glennagannon is a buried chamber where two clay foodvessels emerged, proving death and memory once shared the same ground. The mound has vanished beneath pasture and forgetting, yet the vessels still prove the chamber existed. They may have fed the dead, marked a family line or simply belonged to the region’s oldest hospitality.

It is recorded that a burial mound at Glennagannon produced two foodvessels (Swan 1948, 43). It is not clear where exactly this was. The area is generally fair to rough pasture along the Glenagannon river. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
