What is recorded here

Cahercorney is an east-facing slope where a leaning stone with a triangular top still blocks part of the view. It is not large, yet it occupies the land like a marker set by someone who expected others to arrive later. Perhaps it guided a herder, marked a boundary or watched a road no longer visible. Whatever it did, it is still doing it, holding its angle against the sky while the countryside turns beneath it.
