What is recorded here

Ballyholey Far holds no visible standing stone, though old surveys claimed one stood there. The land keeps a ghost shape, maybe buried, maybe moved, maybe never more than a shadow in someone's memory. What is missing becomes the real marker, inviting wonder instead of certainty.

There is no trace of the 'Standing Stone' marked on the OS 6-inch maps. 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.
