Standing stone in Ardeevin

A standing stone c. 1m high × 0.5m wide; N-S. It stands on top of a low, probably natural, mound. A previous account (Davies) noted that the stone was also standing near the SW edge of a 'pear shaped artificial platform about 1 foot high and 10 × 6 yards'. Situated in good land on top of a hill overlooking Lough Eske. 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.'

Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the stone's alignment and position on a mound suggest ritual or ceremonial significance. Its placement near an artificial platform may indicate a broader ritual landscape, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
