Drumbrick Traditional Burial Ground

Burial ground

What is recorded here

Drumbrick Traditional Burial Ground hides beneath the eastern base of Craignamarve, a north-south rocky ridge in County Donegal. No marker, stone or trench breaks the grass, yet local memory insists dead people sleep there. The land remembers what the surface forgot.
Known locally as a burial ground, there are no surface features. It lies at the E base of a N-S rocky ridge called Craignamarve. 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
