What is recorded here

Known locally as Cille Brie from St. Bricne who is supposed to be buried here. The site has survived as a 'Calvary' or old burial ground. It is an oval area 31m NNE-SSW and 21m WNW-ESE. A stone-facing, up to 1m high, can be seen on the SE side but the rest of the perimeter and part of the interior are obscured by heaps of field stones. It is located on grazing land just above Mulroy Bay 100m to the E. 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. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
