Standing stone in Glaidhb An Tseanteampaill

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Glaidhb An Tseanteampaill still marks Glaidhb An Tseanteampaill, though farming has taken it from ordinary view. It rises two to two and a half metres, narrow as a door edge, aligned northeast to southwest on rolling land. People may have passed it without knowing what it recorded, or they may have kept it clear because it belonged to memory. Distance does not erase its shape; it merely refuses to let forgether have the last word.
It was only possible to inspect this standing stone from a distance, due to cultivation. It is c. 2-2.5m high × 0.5m wide; NE-SW. Situated on rolling arable land. 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
