What is recorded here

Leagaun is a weathered standing stone in County Limerick, Ireland, named on a 1928 map and still embedded in the front lawn of a modern bungalow. Its sub-oval body rises 1.4m, broad enough to touch but not tall enough to command attention. The house likely occupies an older boundary, kitchen garden or gathering place, while the stone outlived every wall around it. Lichen softens its edges, and ordinary life has grown up beside it instead of clearing it away.
