What is recorded here

Two stones stood twelve metres apart at a sharp river bend in Carrowcrom, marking a corner of the field until men pulled them free in 1926. One leans against a fence now, still catching the light, while the other disappeared beneath the soil. The river keeps its bend and the field keeps its shape, but the stones lost their witness.

At the narrow S end of a pasture field, close to a point where the field is bordered by a sharp bend in a river. This is the approximate location of a standing stone, one of two stones which according to OPW topographical files (1929) stood 'about 40ft [c. 12m] apart in the corner of a field at a river bend' in Carrowcrom townland. In 1926 both stones was removed from their original locations. This stone was buried, and the other stone (MA040-010002-) was placed leaning against a fence.
