What is recorded here
No visible marker remains in Baile Na Bó, only an overgrown field corner where children were buried. The land has taken back the shape of the place, leaving behind a quiet gap in the ordinary view.
The 'Calluragh Burial Ground' marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps is an overgrown corner of a cultivated field. There are no surface indications of its use.
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.
