What is recorded here
Two stones still stand in Gransha pasture, one nearly three metres tall and the other just over a metre, set on level ground beside a third stone in the next field. They have watched cattle, rain and forgotten foottraffic for generations, perhaps marking a boundary, a path or a promise nobody remembers. Their size and separation suggest deliberate placement rather than abandoned rubble, while the rich land around them has kept them company through every change of ownership and season.
Two standing stones. One is 2.77m high × 0.84m wide at base. The other, to the NE, is 1.05m high × 1.1m wide at base. Situated on rich, level, pasture land, in the next field to another standing stone (DG029-038001-).
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.
