What is recorded here

Carrowreagh holds a low upright stone beside rock art, suggesting human purpose rather than random geology. Its east-west alignment and nearby marked rock imply the place served observation, ceremony or boundary marking. The stone may have stood witness while people lived and left marks around it.

Identified by Van Hoek in 198. This low upright stone does not display the characteristic features of a standing stone and there may be doubt about its antiquity. However its close proximity to a panel of rock art that is only 57m to the N which may suggest that it is an authentic standing stone(H 0.8m ; base Wth 0.8m; top with 0.65m; T 0.14m) with its long axis orientated on an E-W axis. A second possible standing stone (DG003-015001-) recorded by Van Hoek is located 43m to the NW and a panel of rock art (DG003-015-) is located 57m to the NW. Van Hoek, M.A. M. (1987) 'The prehistoric rock art of County Donegal (part 1)' UJA vol. 50, 23-46.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have been part of a ritual or territorial landscape, possibly linked to the nearby rock art panel used for symbolic or ceremonial purposes. Local folklore or specific meaning has not been recorded.
