What is recorded here
Clonglaskan still hides its headstone-like stone beyond the quarry in Rock Field. People walked that rough pasture, pointed at a missing shape and believed the land should give back one visible marker. The stone may have fallen, buried or never been a stone at all, but the request in the memory remains clear: see what others stopped seeing.
In a rough rocky area with some pasture. According to local information, a stone, similar in shape to a 'headstone', stood in a field 'beyond the quarry', known as the 'Rock Field'. Following an extensive search of the general area, the possible standing stone remains unlocated.
