What is recorded here

In Gannew and Curreen townland, situated on a prominent heather and grass-covered rocky hill in rough mountain terrain. Panoramic views are afforded NW-NE over Glencolmcille valley and surrounds, and it is overlooked at ESE-SW by higher ground. Narrow irregularly-shaped stone (H 0.66m; Wth 0.32m NE-SW; T 0.13m) set upright in the ground. It tapers to a point at top. A large flat slab (0.52m x 0.43m) lies on the ground at the base of the standing stone on its WNW side and there are two small stones at the SSE side; these probably served as support stones.
