Standing stone in Gransha

Standing stone

What is recorded here

One chamber holds two stones: a tall ridge and a low disc, set in clean grass beside another solitary marker. The height difference suggests purpose rather than accident, perhaps a doorway, a bench, or a place where shadow fell at a certain hour. Whatever they marked, the land has kept the shape while the names and reasons slipped away.
Two standing stones. One is 2.77m high × 0.84m wide at base. The other, to the NE, is 1.05m high × 1.1m wide at base. Situated on rich, level, pasture land, in the next field to another standing stone (DG029-038001-). 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
