What is recorded here

No human has lived at the ruined place since the tower fell, yet the room still fills with breath and movement. The chamber is not empty. It is waiting for the person it was built to find.

There is no trace of the 'Ballyroosky Standing Stone' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was situated on a local rise in an area of rock outcrop close to the coast. 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.
