What is recorded here
No graveyard marker remains on the chart, yet the lost ground still stands where a narrow strip of land pushes east into the Glenna River. That is the shape of Rinnafadda now: a forgotten edge, water-worn and unnamed, holding whatever the tide has not taken.
There is now no definite trace of Rinnafadda Graveyard marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. It was located on a promontory jutting E into the estuary of the Glenna River.
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.
