A standing stone (DG013-004003-) 1.42m high and orientated N-S has a cross incised on it. There are small circles at the terminals and at the centre. It is situated on low ground close to the shore just N of St. Colmcille's holy well (DG013-004001-) (Ó Muirgheasa No. 100). 10m SE of the well is a feature marked 'graves' (DG013-004002-) on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. This seems to consist of a boulder with a semi-circle of stones about its base. It is not clear what the nature of the feature is. 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.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG013-004003
