Standing stone in Rann

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No stone remains visible, yet the lost marker still belongs to Rann. It stood on good land sloping east, tall enough to be remembered and faint enough to vanish from human sight. Perhaps it is buried beneath grass, broken into the earth or moved when the fields changed hands. The absence does not remove the place; it invites imagination to complete what measurement stopped recording.
There is no trace of the 'Standing Stone' marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on good land sloping down to E. 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

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.
