What is recorded here

Colbinstown, County Kildare: the Pillar stone stands in the SW sector of ‘Killeen Cormac’ burial ground, leaning east, lichen-covered, 1.2m high, tapering inward toward the top. It is earthfast, not fallen, as if set deliberately and forgotten by everyone since. People may have pressed foreheads to it, tied ribbons to it, or simply walked past it for centuries while it held its lean like a patient listener.
