What is recorded here
Ardomasagh Burn still flows beside the missing stone, feeding the River Swilly below. The standing stone vanished from human memory and official maps, yet the water remembers the shape of the place. Drumanaught keeps its own record in rain, current and stone.
There is no trace of the 'Standing Stone' marked on the OS 6-inch map. Situated immediately E of Ardomasagh Burn and overlooking the River Swilly to N.
