What is recorded here

No stone remains visible in Carnowen, only a memory buried beneath rich soil and forgotten fields. What stood there once has surrendered to time, leaving behind a gap where wonder should have lived. The land still holds the shape of absence, a quiet invitation to imagine what disappeared.

There is no trace of the 'Standing Stone' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on rich farming land which falls away to N and from which there are extensive views. 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.
