What is recorded here
Carrigrohane’s standing stone is a thin 1.2m slab leaning north in a pasture, small enough to touch but old enough to stop a person mid-thought. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning, yet it still performs the same function: it makes the ordinary field remember that people once shaped it.
In pasture. This standing stone (0.6m x 0.17m; H 1.2m) comprises a thin slab that is orientated E-W and leans heavily to the N.
