The National Monuments Service's description
A pillar slab 1.83m x .45m and 0.12m thick. It is decorated on the NW and SE faces. The NW face is weathered but compares closely with the W face of the slab at Drumroe (DG080-020) except that the present slab has a loop design to either side of the central band, halfway between the roundel and the squared motifs. The SE face is decorated with three connected, squared geometric designs. The slab is located on top of a knoll of rock outcrop in a prominent position on the floor of Glencolumbkille valley in the field on the W side of Glencolumbkille Grave-yard (DG080-013002-).
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.
