What is recorded here

Droim Eochaille holds a broad standing stone, nearly two metres wide but only one metre high, set on good land facing the south. Its shallow shape suggests people may have leaned against it, watched the sky, or marked a boundary before written memory. The stone still occupies that slope, waiting for someone to notice what it resisted forgetting.

A standing stone c. 1m high × 1.85m wide × c. 0.5m thick. Situated on good land on a S facing slope. 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).
