What is recorded here

Bunnafinglas holds a leaning stone beside the River Moy, its triangular northern profile cutting the pasture like a forgotten knife. It stands only a short distance from a burial ground, suggesting the rock marked death, direction or boundary for people who no longer speak. Its sharp southward tilt refuses easy explanation, preserving a moment when human hands shaped the landscape before memory faded.

In pasture, located on level elevated ground bordered c. 150m to W by the River Moy, and overlooked 500m to SE by a ridge. An irregular-shaped upright block of stone (0.75m NNW–SSE; 0.64m ENE–WSW; H 1.35m), with a rectangular cross-section at its base. Seen in profile from W or E it appears roughly rectangular in shape with a somewhat rounded top, but viewed from N it has a distinctly triangular profile. It leans sharply to S. There is a burial ground (MA048-030----) is 40m to E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 January 2013
