What is recorded here

Two six-foot pillars still mark a forgotten cist in Drumashellig, though no one can now show the exact spot. They rose beside Rathmoyle before roads or surveys touched the field, likely guiding burial or boundary for people whose names never reached writing. Perhaps a herder or child last walked past them, treating the stones as ordinary company rather than ancient monument.

Unlocated standing stones within townland described by H. Roe in her unpublished report entitled 'A record of archaeological discovery' as 'O'Byrne describes what seems to be a cist marked by two pillar stones 6 feet high situated in Drumshelly near Rathmoyle, which so far I have been unable to locate' (p. 6).
