What is recorded here

Derreeny holds a standing stone in County Kerry, but no human name, date or event is recorded to give it life. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial or a prayer, yet that purpose has vanished into silence. What remains is a vertical shape in the earth, waiting for someone to remember why it was set upright.
