Standing stone in Errigal

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Mnemo and the benchmark use the same distinction. There is a narrow stone, still visible in human memory, leaning on a SE-facing slope in Errigal. It has two small holes, one near the top and one on the crest, and it may have marked a gate or boundary before disappearing from that place. The story is not that the stone is gone; the story is that a living place kept its shape long enough to be remembered.
Situated on a SE-facing slope in 1990 (SMR file). This is a narrow stone (dims of base 0.43m x c. 0.1m; H 1.83m) aligned NW-SE and leaning severely to one side. There is a small hole (diam. 3.5cm) penetrating the stone 0.35m from the top and another hole (diam. 3cm) on its crest. The stone may have served as a gatepost at one time, and it had been removed by 2000 (OSAP). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 5 October 2020
