What is recorded here
No stones or crosses mark the dead beneath the heather, only the local name and a marshy field where the land itself remembers what people forgot. The burial ground hides in plain sight, demanding imagination rather than evidence.
No burial markers indicate this area known locally as a graveyard. It is situated in a marshy, hummocky field covered with heather.
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.'
