Standing stone in Figart (figart Ed)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Figart Ed holds a 1.05m stone, slight and proud on the east slope. It is the kind of place where people set a marker and forgot to explain themselves. The land remains good, the hill unapologetic, and the stone still waiting for someone honest enough to ask it what it is.
A standing stone 1.05m high × 0.62m wide × 0.33m thick; NE-SW. Situated on good land on the E slope of a hill. 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
