Standing stone in Cartronbore

Standing stone in Cartronbore is a small sandstone slab in County Longford, Ireland, not a distant myth but a visible marker within living pasture. It stands 1.14 metres tall, one metre wide and 0.33 metre thick, aligned northwest to southeast inside a slight hollow. Cartronbore gives the stone its place, while the stone gives Cartronbore a point of memory. People may have passed it, pointed at it, or left it alone, but its shape and setting remain clear enough to imagine without inventing.
