What is recorded here
Standing stone in Tirmacroragh rises eighty centimetres above the Donegal earth, its base fifty-eight centimetres wide and tilted along a northeast-southwest line. Small stones and rough rock outcrops cluster around its feet like broken teeth or abandoned markers. The shape is not grand, but it is definite. It still occupies the field, still resists forgetting, and still invites people to wonder what it marked before human memory thinned.
A standing stone .8m high × 0.58m wide at base; NE-SW. There are several small stones and outcrops of rock about the base.
