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.'
