A small church graveyard - typical of those that dot the Irish landscape, in north County Donegal

This is a Carndonagh Cross - reputed to be the oldest in Ireland - and likely dating from the 7th century during the time of St. Patrick

A pillar stone, re-erected next to the cross above, depicts an ecclesiastic carrying a book, crozier and hand bell. The stone was part of an early church founded by Saint Patrick...

Doe Castle, built by the Mac Sweeney Clan, is now a partly-restored National Monument. The castle is located on Sheephaven Bay in Creeslough and was built in the 15th century, likely around 1425AD.
