What is recorded here

Indicated is a two-metre circle of buried stone on a Leitrim ridge, possibly the ghost of a surveyor’s station marked on a 1907 map. Kytmannow found it first, naming the place after the act of pointing rather than remembering. The stones may have rolled from a broken instrument platform when the survey ended and the men left. If so, the ridge keeps a discarded measurement alive, waiting for someone to notice the shape before the grass swallows it again.

Situated on a knoll, which is on a NW-SE ridge with higher ground to the SE. It was first identified by Kytmannow, and could be the remains of a trigonometric station indicated on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass-covered stony area (diam. 2m; H 0.2m) with a small spread of stones (dims 1.1m x 0.8m) just 1.5m to the SE that might have derived from it.
