What is recorded here
Dunkineely Edge, Saint John's Point, County Donegal: several field walls cut across the headland beside seven hut sites and a possible cashel. People lived there, not past there. They planted, bred, loved, argued, buried, and left stones behind. The point is still busy under its quiet surface.
Extensive field system consisting of several field walls running across Saint John's Point which appears to be contemporaneous with several hut sites (DG097A012/013/014/015/016/017/018-) and a possible cashel (DG097A019-).
