small cells of Killybegs

Killybegs in Irish is ‘Na Cealla Beaga’, meaning ’small cells’ which refers to the small cells built by monks who once lived in the area.  There is now a monument in the shape of little cells erected in a field at the entrance to the village (from the Donegal Town side) commemorating this piece of history.
