Standing stone in Kinletter

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Kinletter holds a 1.7m stone, 0.8m wide, standing E-W in forestry above rough pasture and bog. It is the kind of place where people may have marked boundary, ceremony or memory before roads existed. The surrounding land still moves with water, shade and silence, keeping the stone company long after human hands stopped shaping it.
A standing stone 1.7m high × c. 0.8m wide; E-W. Situated, in forestry, in an area generally of rough pasture and bog land.

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).
