What is recorded here

One stone stands in Gransha while a second vanished from human memory. The survivor rises 1.8m above level ground that slopes toward Lough Swilly, its 0.57m width and 0.43m thickness still aligned east-west like an interrupted sentence. Whatever the pair marked or warned has lost half its voice. The remaining stone continues pointing across water, waiting for someone to remember what the missing half said.

A standing stone c. 1.8m high × 0.57m wide × 0.43m maximum thickness; E-W. The 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map notes two stones here but there is no visible trace of the second one. Situated on fairly level ground sloping gently W to Lough Swilly. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. No specific folklore or use is recorded for this site.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
