What is recorded here
Two stones stand together in County Mayo, not one but a pair, which doubles the mystery and suggests dialogue rather than lonely marker. No date, name or event survives in the facts provided, so the meaning must be judged from shape and company. Perhaps they were guides, witnesses or the remains of a greater arrangement now scattered. Whatever they marked, they still point somewhere, and the empty space between them may be the clearest part of the message.
