Standing stone in Cúl An Doire (tc Ráth Bhoth)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Cúl An Doire holds a 1.1m stone on a ridge above a stream, tilted slightly across the land like a finger pointing at water. It has stood through rain, grass and forgotten feet, marking a place people once noticed before names were written.
A standing stone 1.1m high × 0.83m wide; SE-NW. Situated on a level ridge which falls away NW towards a stream. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
