What is recorded here

Canrooska holds a rectangular stone, tall enough to touch but narrow enough to overlook, set on a bog ridge beneath Barraboy Mountain. Its edges still cut the air like a forgotten door, while two wedge tombs wait farther down the slope. People may have passed it for centuries, some remembering it as a marker, others as a god, and none leaving it unchanged.

On an E-W ridge of rough hill grazing on bog, on the lower, S-facing slopes of Barraboy Mountain. This standing stone (1.6m x 0.7m; H 1.45m) is rectangular in plan and section and is orientated NNW-SSE. Two wedge tombs (CO090-021001-, CO090-021002-) are c. 180m to the SE.
