Derrykeighan Stone
Image: © Kenneth Allen Taken: 29 Jan 2006
At Derrykeighan Old Church, about one and a half miles from the village of Dervock, a stone was recently discovered built into the corner of the Church. The stone, which is not part of the original fabric of the building is thought to date from the 1st Century A.D. Inscribed on the stone is an Irish form of the Early Iron Age Celtic Art. The stone, which is thought to have been carved locally, is one of the most important Early Iron Age objects yet found in Ireland.
