What is recorded here

Cahershaughnessy holds a standing stone in County Clare, but no human name or date is attached to its height, tilt or purpose. The stone may have marked a boundary, honoured a death or simply resisted the patience of men. It still stands while empires and memories collapse, which is more than most life achieves.
