Standing stone in Drumacrin

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No stone remains in Drumacrin because houses and roads swallowed the grassland slope where two stood. The larger measured three feet one inch high, nine inches wide and six inches thick, yet human arrogance erased even that small witness.
There is no trace of the two standing stones recorded here previously (Davies). One was 3'1? high × 9? wide × 6? thick. Situated on a N facing slope, formerly grassland but now built over. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
