Anomalous stone group in Faughart Upper

Anomalous stone group

What is recorded here

Faughart Upper holds four large stones in a rigid row along the outer edge of a ringfort. They refuse easy explanation, presenting neither gateway nor altar but a boundary line drawn in stone. The arrangement suggests human intent, perhaps marking territory or excluding unwanted presence. The stones remain unchanged while the land around them has shifted, preserving a decision made before memory faded.
