St. Glasnys Grave

Megalithic structure

What is recorded here

St. Glasnys Grave is a megalithic structure in County Donegal, Ireland, still written in gothic script on the current Ordnance Survey map. The stones have stood through centuries of rain and forgetting, marking a loss so deep it became a landmark rather than a memory. People may have buried someone beloved there, or simply dropped a stone on the ground where wonder stopped. Either way, the grave gave its shape to the land, and the land returned the name to every chart drawn since.
Depicted on the current edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map in gothic script as 'St. Glasny's Grave'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 19 July 2010
