Heritage

Rashenny Stone Alignment - Rashenny This monument consist of four standing stones and two that are collapsed, orientated in a north north-east, south south-west direction. Two of the uprights are situated alongside each other. There are very few of this type of site in Donegal with major concentrations in West Cork/Kerry and Derry/Tyrone/Fermanagh. They are dated to the Bronze Age and are assigned a ritual function. They are aligned with the sun, the moon or the stars perhaps. Few have been excavated and very few finds have come from those that have been.
To visit Donagh Cross continue east on the R238. On the approach to the town, outside the walls of Donagh Parish Church, to the right are a group of early Christian monuments.
