What is recorded here

Carrowmore is not one stone but a small cluster, which is why it should never be introduced as a lonely marker. The main stone stands 1.7m high and 0.9m wide on the south-facing slope of Knockbrack Hill, with two more set on edge and one lying flat beside it in rough pasture. That arrangement suggests a threshold, a watch post, or a forgotten boundary marker, but the meanings have not survived.
