What is recorded here
Indicated is an irregular standing stone in a West Cork pasture, rising 1.6 metres with a broad 1.8-metre base. It has watched cattle, storms and forgotten footpaths for centuries, marking a boundary or memory no longer spoken aloud. Its plain shape hides a life of patience, stillness and human attention.
In pasture. Irregular stone (H 1.6m; 1.8m x 0.96m).
