What is recorded here

A standing stone 1.65m high × 1m wide × 0.7m thick; NNW-SSE. A previous account (Kinahan 1885-6, 427) records two crosses inscribed on it. Only one badly weathered cross is now visible, on the W face. Situated in a prominent position, c. 36m W of a cist (DG054-041) discovered in 1976. 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
