Located at the base
of the
Inishowen Peninsula, Burt is a parish and is part the Parish
of Fahan. This is an area that holds a lot of history with the
ancient Grianán of Aileach stone fort that dates back to 1700BC. On
a clear day it is possible to see the hills of seven counties of
Ireland from this view.
From Grianán hill you can see the extent of
the reclaimed land at Inch Level which was enclosed by three
embankments in 1856. The Burt Roman Catholic Chapel on N13 (European
award winning design) was modelled after the Grianán of Aileach. The
Presbyterian congregation nearby dates from 1673 but the present
church was built in 1896.
See Inishowen Self Catering Homes Travellers along the main N13 road from
Derry to Letterkenny also see the remains of the Burt Distillery
with its stone chimney in use during the 18th and 19th centuries at
Bohillion. |
