Standing stone in Sallybrook

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No visible stone remains at Sallybrook, though the old survey still claims one stood there. The ground is low and level, rising only at either end, which suggests a stone large enough to mark would still be impossible to miss. It may have fallen, been buried or never existed at all, but the empty space keeps the shape of what was believed worth seeing.
There is no trace of the 'Standing-Stone' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on low-lying level ground which rises to W and E. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
