- Monuments are stones or slabs erected in memory of great men, who did much work for their country or people, or in memory of the dead.
There are two kinds of monuments - public monuments and private monuments.
A public monument is erected by the public in memory of some person who did great work for his country.
The private monuments are to be seen in all our cemeteries and churchyards. They are erected by the family or friends of deceased.
There is a small monument erected on the bridge at Ballyshannon in memory of one of our greatest poets William Allingham. It bears the inscription:-
"Here once he roved a happy boy,
