What is recorded here

Cashel Standing-Stone Burial marks a lost chamber on Donegal pasture, where a tall stone still leans above the Glentogher river. Local memory claims men broke the site open decades ago and pulled large bones from beneath the displaced rocks. The living field may have swallowed the rest, leaving only the tallest marker to guard what the soil forgot.

A standing stone 1.35m high × 0.74m wide; NE-SW. It is said locally that c. 60 years ago other associated stones were removed and some 'large bones' uncovered. Situated on pasture land falling away to the E and overlooking the Glentogher river. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.'

A megalithic standing-stone burial, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age; its partial disturbance and reported associated stones suggest a ritual or funerary function, though its wider archaeological significance remains unclear due to lack of precise location and context.
