What is recorded here

An unseen shadow still falls across Tonagh, casting a long line toward the Foyle even though the stone has vanished beneath the earth. The buried rock may once have stood six feet tall on the rising ground, marking a boundary or guiding a forgotten path. People still point to the empty shoulder as if waiting for the stone to reappear, believing the land remembers what the surface has forgotten.

It is thought locally that a stone, c. 6ft × 3ft × 2ft and now buried, may once have been standing. Situated on a shoulder of a low rise which slopes down SE to the River Foyle. 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.'
