Standing Stone in Co. Donegal. Situated on the Two Mile Ridge beside a road, a leaning monolith some 2.5 metres high may be associated (but not necessarily contemporaneous) with remains of ancient field-walls, stone walls, low mounds of stones etc.
A cashel (probably an ancient cattle-enclosure) is incorporated in the field-system, and there is another one (perhaps a fortified farm) not far away. In a marshy hollow to the E is a pair of small standing-stones, one flat-topped and one pointed: female and male. This site seems to have been in use from at least Bronze Age to mediƦval times.
