What is recorded here

That is the origin of the name Cnoc An Stollaire, the Knoll of the Staller, where the stone still stands between lough and river. It rises 1.9m from a rocky knoll, almost square and broad enough at the base to catch a shadow across the water. People may have set it there to mark the boundary between two living things, the quiet lough and the moving river, or simply to give the eye a fixed point in open sky.

'Cloghastoller' is a standing stone, almost square in plan, and 1.9m high × 0.55m maximum width at base. Situated on a prominent rocky knoll between Knockastoller Lough to the N and the Gweedore river to the S. 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.'
