What is recorded here

Marian and her husband walked past the standing stone in Lisnagonnell every morning for twenty years. They never touched it, never measured it, never asked what it meant. On the last day she squeezed his hand and said they had spent twenty years beside a stranger. The stone did not leave them, but they stopped running from it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
