What is recorded here

The SMR for County Donegal (1987) suggests that there is a megalithic tomb at the position indicated in the heading, but this is not the case. There is a large, leaning granite stone here, possibly a standing stone, with a small heap of grass-grown stones, apparently the result of field clearance, at its base. Colhoun 1949, 116; Killanin and Duignan 1962, 114; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 127 (prehistoric chamber tomb); SMR 1987, 38:18; RMP 1995, 38:18. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
