What is recorded here

Doire Leathan holds a rectangular stone rather than a tapered ancient marker, reminding people that clarity still matters when certainty is absent. The fact that it stands beside Doire Leathan and faces the living area is enough to record. The chamber remembers the shape of the request, not the hidden story behind it.

Tall upright stone (H 1.2m; 0.7m x 0.58m) of rectangular cross section situated on SSW facing slope of rising ground overlooking Teelin Bay to S. The long axis of the stone is orientated on a NW-SE axis. The stone does not have any evidence of packing stones around its base and does not possess the typical tapering point at the top which casts doubt about the antiquity of this stone.
