What is recorded here

Standing stone in Cummeenduvasig stands 0.75m tall in rough peaty pasture beside the Owbaun River, aligned NNE-SSW like a marker rather than a monument. A burnt spread lies twenty-four metres east and an enclosure forty metres south, suggesting the stone belonged to a lived landscape where fire, fencing and direction all had purpose. People may have passed it when moving stock, marking a boundary, remembering an event or simply giving the valley a fixed point. Its small size and precise shape make it less grandiose than many standing stones and more honest, a corner of human order set into peat and slope.

In rough peaty pasture, on a SE-facing slope, on the W side of the valley of the Owbaun River. This standing stone (0.35m x 0.21m; H 0.75m) is rectangular in plan and section and is orientated NNE-SSW. There is a burnt spread (KE084-005003-) c. 24m to the ESE and an enclosure (KE084-005----) c. 40m to the SSW.
