**O'Donnell's stones** submitted by JAGamble : The SE stone with the other two visible behind it. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Standing Stones in Co. Donegal. This site has three standing stones, with a possible fourth incorporated into a field wall. A small modern stone cross is also present. The three stones stand at the corners of a rectangular, grassed-over bank which is much eroded and was not discernible on my visit. The stones are found at this bank’s NW, NE and SE corners. The stone at NW is quite rectangular while the other two are rougher and more irregular in form.

A survey of this site claims it to be a burial ground, but I found no information about whether the burials are contemporary or prehistoric. Although the presence of a modern stone cross may suggest that the burials are more recent.
