Midden, An Machaire, Co. Donegal

Tucked away in An Machaire, County Donegal, lies an intriguing archaeological site that tells a story of ancient Irish life through its preserved midden.

For those unfamiliar with the term, a midden is essentially a refuse heap left by past inhabitants, containing discarded shells, bones, pottery fragments and other everyday materials that offer invaluable insights into how our ancestors lived, what they ate, and how they interacted with their environment. This particular site in Donegal forms part of Ireland's rich archaeological landscape, though its full story remains somewhat elusive to casual visitors.
