N15, Allingham Roundabout and Morning Star Sculpture
N15, Allingham Roundabout and Morning Star Sculpture
The ‘Morning Star’ sculpture, which is located on the Allingham roundabout on the northern side of Ballyshannon, was commissioned under the HEART project Link and supported by Donegal County Council Public Art Program. The sculpture is of a ‘landmark’ scale, towering 6½ metres in height. It is made up of a number of forms such as the flowing ‘water line’ which makes reference to the Assaroe falls and River Erne. The Boat form makes reference to the Mall Quay, Ballyshannon’s port which was the first port in Ireland to import coal; it is elevated above the waterline and is positioned to look out towards the Atlantic Ocean (LinkExternal link Donegal Public Art).
