What is recorded here

Aghaglassan Burial Ground in County Donegal is a roughly circular mound fifty feet across, edged in places by large stones and a bank. It is a quiet marker of death rather than a dramatic chamber, yet the stones still outline the shape of lives removed from the world.

There is no local tradition of 'the roughly circular mound, diameter 50ft edged in places by large stones and bank' (M.R. Colhoun) said to be an old burial ground here. 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).
