The National Monuments Service's description
According to an entry in an OS Name Book (1834), there is a 'cromlech' in this townland, but no details of it are provided. It is not shown on OS 6-inch maps. The Name Book reference may be to a feature named 'Standing Stone' on the original OS 6-inch map (1834) that is not marked on later editions of the map and of which there is now no trace (Lacy 1983). In any case the nature of the supposed 'cromlech' remains uncertain.
OS Name Book, Aughnish and Tullyfern parishes (1834), book 2, 2; Lacy 1983, 95, no. 600.
The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.' Compiled by: Eamon Cody (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
