What is recorded here
St. Imor's Stone in Laughil is a pink granite glacial erratic with two matching basins that local story claims mark the saint's kneeling knees. The moss-covered boulder sits beside a children's burial ground, tying sacred prayer to the loss of small lives. Imor may have knelt there in desperation, pressing flesh into cold stone until the rock recorded the shape of human longing.
In improved grassland. Known as 'St. Imor's Stone', this pink granite glacial erratic (1.1m N-S; 0.9m E-W; H 0.35m) has two basins, one to the N and the other to the S. Locally they are believed to mark the impression of the saint's knees. Both basins are the same size (diam. 0.3m; D 0.18m). The boulder is nearly completely covered with moss. A children's burial ground (GA107-195002-) is associated.
