This cross-inscribed slab, dating back centuries, sits within a small circular cairn measuring 3.7 metres across. The stone itself leans eastward and measures 1.84 metres tall, 0.42 metres wide, and just 9 centimetres thick; a modest but significant presence in the landscape.

The northwestern face of the slab bears remarkable decoration that reveals the skill of its ancient creators. At its heart lies a cross design enclosed within a circle, with a perforation drilled through the stone at the hub of this cross, positioned 33 centimetres from the top. From this central circle, a stem descends and expands into a middle circular depression, then continues to a lower circular motif. Unfortunately, centuries of weathering have rendered this bottom design indecipherable, leaving us to wonder what message or symbol it once conveyed.

The name ‘Stone of the Gathering’ hints at the monument’s possible role as a meeting place or ceremonial site for the local community in times past. Such cross-slabs are scattered throughout County Donegal, serving as tangible links to Ireland’s early Christian heritage. While the exact age and purpose of this particular stone remain subjects of archaeological interest, its enduring presence in the valley continues to mark this spot as a place of historical significance.
