Standing stone in Cashel (glentogher Ed)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Cashel (glentogher Ed) is a 2.18m high stone, 1m wide at the base, still set in pasture land in County Donegal. Its size is large enough to mark a boundary, a meeting place or a warning, yet no human name survives beside it. The land around it has changed from footprint to wheeltrack while the stone kept its shape.
A standing stone 2.18m high × 1m wide at base. Situated on pasture land. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.

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
Likely dating to the Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served a ritual or commemorative function. Its placement in open pasture suggests possible alignment with seasonal or ceremonial practices, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
