Military Memorials
The battlefield at Cloghore in Carrickboy and Corlea near Pettigo marks a significant but lesser-known site in County Donegal's turbulent history.
Whilst the Archaeological Survey of Ireland recognises this location as an important monument, detailed information about the specific conflict that took place here remains tucked away in the archives. The site sits quietly in the Donegal countryside, its historical significance not immediately apparent to casual visitors passing through these rural townlands.
The location itself, straddling the townlands of Cloghore and Corlea, likely witnessed one of the many skirmishes that punctuated Ireland's contested past; whether during the medieval period, the Williamite Wars, or the more recent struggles for independence.
