Structure

What is recorded here

Brockagh holds a small rectangular shadow at the base of a collapsed cliff, overlooking two lakes in rough Donegal mountain terrain. The stones may have formed a building nearly three metres long, yet they preserve no door, hearth or certain purpose. They sit like a forgotten room dropped from the earth, waiting for someone to imagine whether it sheltered a hermit, a goatherd or a child who played among the bones of the mountain.
At the base of a collapsed SE-facing cliff face in rough mountainous terrain, overlooking Lough Croangan and Lough Crumbane. The upstanding remains comprise a series of small and medium-sized stones which may mark the collapsed basal portion of a small subrectangular building (dims. 2.9m NW-SE; 2.1m NE-SW). There are a number of loose stones within the interior.There is no indication of an entrance or hearth. The nature and function of this feature cannot be determined with any degree of confidence on the basis of the upstanding remains. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 28 June 2012
