What is recorded here
Standing stone in Carndoagh is a 1.63m high stone with cup-marks on both faces in County Donegal, Ireland. It still stands where people once marked it, perhaps for ceremony, boundary or memory. Its narrow body and worn cups suggest it was seen, touched and remembered long before written records.
A standing stone 1.63m high × 1.1m wide at base × 0.26m maximum thickness; N-S. There are several cup-marks on both faces.
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).
