Doe Castle: The castle sits on a small peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water, with a moat cut into the rock of the landward side. The structure consists mainly of high outer walls around an interior bawn with a four-storey tower-house/ keep.

Ray Church and cross.

Ray Church is a medieval church and National Monument in County Donegal, Ireland and is located 2.5 Km from Falcarragh, a small Gaeltacht town in north-west County Donegal.

The church was destroyed in the 17th century. During Sunday Mass, the entire congregation was slaughtered in the Massacre of Ray. The dead are buried in a mass grave called Resting Place of the Bones.

The cross fell from it’s perch in a storm in the 1750’s and lay supine for 220 years until it was resurrected by the Irish Office of Public Works in the 1970’s.
