What is recorded here

One stone still leans in the rough pasture near the ridge summit, though a second may have tumbled into the grass or vanished entirely. The first witness recorded both in 1946, spaced thirty-six feet apart and aligned east to west, suggesting they marked a boundary, a path or a promise now forgotten. The surviving stone keeps its tilt like a person caught mid-gesture, still pointing across the ridge toward whatever the other once faced.

A standing stone, leaning considerably but originally c. 1.1m high × 0.75m wide. This is probably one of the two stones '36ft apart and orientated almost due E-W' which were previously recorded at the site in 1946 (Davies). A loose stone lying nearby may be the second stone referred to. Situated in rough pasture land near the summit of a rocky ridge. 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 Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have been part of a ritual or ceremonial alignment. Its orientation and placement suggest a possible function in marking territory, celebrating celestial events, or serving as a focal point for local prehistoric communities.
