What is recorded here
M. R. Colhoun measured a small stone, two feet three inches square and one foot nine inches high, near Ballycharry. The exact place has vanished, defeating later searches and leaving only the numbers behind. It may have marked a boundary, a burial or a forgotten road, but the earth kept that secret.
A standing stone, 2ft 3in × 2ft 3in × 1ft 9in was recorded in this vicinity (M. R. Colhoun). A search was made but the stone was not located.
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.
