Standing stone

What is recorded here

Justin Kenny first reported the upright sandstone in Scottstown, County Meath. It stands one metre tall on a south-facing slope, five metres from an east-west field bank, and points roughly northeast-southwest like a finger pressing through grass. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial, or a moment when someone stopped moving and watched the sky.
