Grave Yard

The site is now occupied by a Church of Ireland church and graveyard (DG079-017002-). It is believed to be the site of Domnach Mor Maige Itha, an early foundation (DG079-017002-), associated with St. Patrick (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 33). There are no early remains visible now. The site is located on a low knoll c. 100m N of the River Finn. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.
