Drumhome Monastic Site

Drumhome Monastic Site lies near Ballintra in south County Donegal, marking the location of an early Christian monastic foundation in the countryside inland from Donegal Bay.

Sites of this kind are typically quiet, open places where graveyard, ruins and earthworks remain in a rural setting rather than a managed visitor attraction. They reward an unhurried visit and an interest in early church history in the north-west. Access is usually informal, so wear suitable footwear, respect any burial ground still in use, and leave gates as you find them.
