What is recorded here

Larganakilla is a lost burial ground on high pasture east of the Glenna river in County Donegal. It vanished from human memory before surveyors drew it, leaving only a map name and a field where grass still grows over forgotten dead. The absence is the shape of the place: a graveyard so old it became landscape, and the landscape swallowed even its own history.

It was not possible to identify any specific area as the 'Larganakilla Graveyard' marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. The location is pasture land on high ground E 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).
