What is recorded here

Baurgorm holds two possible standing stones separated by a hundred metres, one buried partly in gorse on an east-facing slope above the Owennashingaun River. The nearer stone stands ninety centimetres tall, rectangular and aligned northwest to southeast, while rough pasture and briars hide much of its shape. It is easy to imagine people walking that terrace at dawn, reading the valley light or marking a boundary nobody remembers.

In rough pasture, partially covered with gorse and briars, on a terrace on an E-facing hillslope overlooking the valley of the Owennashingaun River. This possible standing stone (1.2m x 0.3m; H 0.9m) is rectangular in plan and is orientated NW-SE. Another possible standing stone (CO118-091001-) is situated c. 100m to the ESE.
