The stone, which toppled at some point after being recorded by M. R. Calhoun, measures 1.95 metres in length and reaches a maximum width of 0.9 metres. At one end, there’s a curious circular depression; 8.5 centimetres deep and 4 centimetres in diameter, possibly indicating where the stone was worked or perhaps serving some ceremonial purpose lost to time.

This fallen monument sits on level pasture land that has yielded other archaeological treasures, including a cross-slab that was recovered from the same field. The presence of both prehistoric and early Christian monuments in such close proximity suggests this area held significance for multiple generations of inhabitants, from the earliest farmers who erected the standing stone to the Christian communities who later carved their symbols into stone.

The standing stone forms part of Donegal’s rich archaeological landscape, documented in the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal conducted by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983. Their work catalogued field antiquities spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, helping preserve knowledge of monuments like this one that might otherwise be overlooked in their quiet rural settings.
