Bocan, Gleneely, Carrowmenagh and Redford are
areas that contain possibly the widest range and
greatest number of historical sites and ancient
monuments in Inishowen. Among the ancient
sites to visit in these areas are, Cloncha Church,
Cross of St. Boden, Larrahirril Court Tomb, Bocan
Stone Circle, Kindroyhead Standing Stone and
Carrowmore High Cross.These areas have also
been the birthplace of many well-known authors
who have contributed greatly to our knowledge
of our past and still continue to supply us with
some wonderful reading material. Brian Bonner,
Sean Beattie, John A. McLaughlin, Hazel Clarke/
McIntyre, Evelyn Ruddy, Neil McGrory and
Bridget O’Toole have written some superb works
on various aspects of life in the area as well as
local and general history. Nearby is Tremone Bay
where in 1848 a Young Irelander, Thomas D’Arcy
McGee escaped from his pursuers and eventually
ended up in Canada where he became one of the
founders of the Confederation of Canada and a
Government Minister.
