What is recorded here

A standing stone, leaning considerably but originally c. 1.1m high × 0.75m wide. This is probably one of the two stones '36ft apart and orientated almost due E-W' which were previously recorded at the site in 1946 (Davies). A loose stone lying nearby may be the second stone referred to. Situated in rough pasture land near the summit of a rocky ridge. 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
