Standing Stones at Cashel These are two examples of approximately 300 in the county. They are usually dated to the Bronze Age (2500 - 4000 years ago) but can date to recent times (scratching posts for cattle). There are a number of possible functions for this type of monument, a ritual function, boundary markers, marking ancient routeways or marking fords. They can also be part of larger monuments which have been partially destroyed. i.e. stone circles or stone alignments. In Irish they are known as Gallan, Dallan or Leacht.

Could these examples be part of a north-south alignment (they are in close proximity to each other) or mark an ancient routeway (they run parallel to the modern road through the glen)

Go back into Carndonagh and take road for Moville. About three miles out of town is Carrowmore Crosses (signposted).
