What is recorded here

Pluck is a rough square pillar, one and three quarters metres tall, leaning slightly on low ground beside the Isle Burn. It is a National Monument, number 453, and has watched the river flood and retreat for longer than any living memory. People may have set it there to mark a boundary, honour a dead person or simply stop a cart leaving the track. The stone does not explain itself, but it still stands while smaller things around it have worn away.

This standing stone (H 1.75m; L 1.7m ; T 0.95m) is roughly square-shaped, with a rectangular cross-section; its long axis is aligned NNE-SSW. Situated on low-lying level ground close to the Isle Burn river. It is a National Monument in state guardianship (No. 453). 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.'
