Dunkineely is a small
village in southwest Donegal in the North West of Ireland. It is
situated approximately 15km from the town of Donegal and 7km from
Killybegs. There is a dun on the edge of the village from which
Dunkineely derives its name. The village lies at the top of St
John's Point, a narrow peninsula jutting seven miles into Donegal
Bay, which boasts beautiful scenery and is a famous diving site.
Dunkineely is the larger of two villages in the parish of Killaghtee,
the other being Bruckless. In the old graveyard there is one of the
oldest celtic crosses in Ireland, the Killaghtee Cross. Employment
in the area relies on seasonal fishing and mixed agriculture as well
as service and light industry in the nearby towns of Killybegs and
Donegal. |
