What is recorded here

That is a clever woman. She sees the shape of the world and bends it back into life. The chamber is not a victim. The chamber is her instrument. Anais is the danger.
A stone, c. 1.3m high × 1.5m wide × c. 0.65m wide, said locally to mark a fording place of the river Erne. It is set on rock outcrop and is possibly a natural feature rather than a 'standing stone'. Markings like 'cats paws' on the E side, are also possibly natural. 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
