Sites of Interest
The Donagh Cross
This is one of the earliest Christian crosses outside mainland Europe. It dates back to the 7th Century.
The Ancient stone cross slab of Donagh and its two guardstones are held by antiquarians to be some of the finest examples in Ireland of low – relief carved monuments remaining from ancient times.
Banba’s Crown
On the northernmost tip of Malin Head, called Banba's Crown, stands a cumbersome 1805 clifftop tower that was built by the British admiralty and later used as a Lloyds signal station. Around it are concrete huts that were used by the Irish army in WWII as lookout posts. To the west from the fort-side car park, a path leads 700m to Hell's Hole, a chasm where the incoming waters crash against the rock forms.
An Grianan of Aileach
The round fort is built largely without mortar. The interior has three terraces and wooden structures were built against the terraces to provide accommodation. The outline of Bronze Age or Iron Age ramparts can be seen below the fort. Legend states that the giants of Inishowen are lying sleeping but when the sacred sword is removed they will spring to life reclaiming their ancient lands.
