What is recorded here
One narrow stone, broken now but once nearly two metres tall, still leans in flat Donegal land south of the Stracashel river. It is not a grand chamber or crowded ring; it is a single pale mark in ordinary ground, the kind of place where people may have passed, pointed, remembered or left small offerings. Its shape suggests purpose more than chance, yet purpose itself has thinned with time. What remains is a address without a name, waiting to be recognized.
A standing stone, now broken, but originally c. 1.73m in height. It is .35m × 0.07m in plan. The stone is located in good flat land to the S of the Stracashel river.
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.
