The 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map shows 3 standing stones in a line. Three stones, lying flat, now occupy the site and are presumed to be the standing stones in question. They measure, respectively 1.75m long × 0.8m wide × 0.2m thick; 1.65m long × 0.6m wide × 0.2m thick and 2m long × 1.15m wide × 0.15m thick. They are sited, on rough terrain, close to the top of Lehardan Hill with extensive views to S. 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).

Ó Ríordáin (1935, 173-4) records a cairn with cist burials which was destroyed here about 1925. It is said to have been c. 12m in diameter and c. 2m in maximum height and was surrounded by rough, dry-stone walling and outside of this a flat-bottomed fosse, little more than 1m in depth and width. There may have been as many as 25 cists and the burials were mostly inhumations although some cremations were recognised. A number of pottery vessels were found but only one, a foodvessel was preserved. A large number of quartz pebbles were noted among the cairn material.

Marked as a standing stone on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps, this slab (DG028-012001-) has now been removed to the grounds of St. Joseph's Church in Rathmullen (DG037-023).

It was originally located at the position outlined above, allegedly beside the entrance to a souterrain (DG028-012002-) (NMI) but no trace of this is visible now.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
