The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level pasture land to the SW of the Church at Clonca. A stone, wheeled cross-slab (DG012-002009-) came from the same field as a standing stone (DG012-001001-). The cross-slab has been removed for safety. It is very similar to a slab set into the wall at the entrance to Fahan graveyard (DG038-013004-). The site is located in generally good land sloping slightly to the S where there is an extensive area of bogland.
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.
