What is recorded here

No stone remains, only the memory of a vertical mark on the lower slopes of Croaghan Hill. The land is good and the view is wide, suggesting the stone once helped people read the sky or claim the horizon. It vanished before modern cameras arrived, leaving behind a empty patch of grass where human attention still gathers.

Marked as 'Standing Stone' on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map and as 'Standing Stone (site of)' on the 3rd edition. There are no visible remains. Situated on the lower slopes of Croaghan Hill on good land with 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).

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.
