What is recorded here

Standing stone in Rann is a broken stone in County Donegal, Ireland, still visible after centuries of weather and forgetting. It measures .4m × 0.5m wide × 0.2m thick, small enough to touch but old enough to have watched fields, roads and lives change around it. People may have set it, passed it or simply known it as a marker when the land had fewer names. What is certain is that it remained standing while much else disappeared.

Marked as 'Stone' on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map. The damaged remains of a stone now standing .4m × 0.5m wide × 0.2m thick, still survive but its archaeological significance is uncertain. 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).
