Standing stone in RodeenStanding stone · 6 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Rodeen is within a burial ground. What it gave up for Lent? Probably its patience with all the ghosts who keep talking about their wills. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
