What is recorded here
Old milestone is an old milestone in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Perhaps it measured the distance to Castlecomer and Kilkenny before roads had names. Maybe a cart wheel struck its edge at midnight, shaking dust from the chisel marks. Imagine a driver reading the numbers by lantern light, certain the land itself was counting.
