Midden in An Carn Buí

Knowles (1901, 347-8) refers to the finding of midden material including flint, bones, shells and a hammerstone at a number of places in the vicinity of a place called Carnveagh and Molfin nearby. There are no townlands of these names in Donegal but the description suggests that they are in the vicinity of Bunbeg so perhaps Carnboy is the townland in question. 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.'
