What is recorded here
No standing stone remains visible in Glenmaquin Lower, though old surveys claimed one stood on good land sloping west. It may have fallen, buried, or simply stopped mattering to the people who walked past it. What is certain is the absence: a marker lost before it could be remembered.
There is no trace of the 'Standing Stone' marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on good land sloping down in a W direction.
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.
