What is recorded here

Harristown Standing Stone is an archaeological place in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Perhaps the stone fell during a storm or was knocked over by careless hands, losing the height that once made it visible from a distance. Maybe people stopped climbing it or measuring its shadow because the angle changed and the purpose disappeared. Imagine a tall marker reduced to a broken heap, forcing everyone to leave the area before remembering what the stone had done.
Now recumbent standing stone.
