What is recorded here

Wintergrass farm keeps a standing stone in Parkarinny field, old enough that local tradition calls it an antiquity. Generations of untouched soil may have held it upright, but a plough entered the field for the first time and knocked the marker over. The stone still lies in County Meath, displaced rather than destroyed, waiting for someone to decide whether memory should be dragged back upright or left broken in the furrow.

Located in field known as 'Parkarinny' on farm called Wintergrass. Local tradition records this is an antiquity. The field was recently ploughed for the first time in generations and the stone was knocked over (pers. comm. Mr Colin Byrne, Briarleas, County Meath).

Likely dating to the Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served as a boundary marker, ceremonial site, or astronomical alignment. Local tradition suggests it was previously upright for generations, though its specific meaning or folklore remains undocumented.
