Standing stone in Curry (carra By., Drum Par.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Stand up the tall stone in that village and watch it tilt. Measure the shadow at noon, mark the base, and test whether the height matches the distance to the sea. A standing stone is not a child's toy; it is a ruler, a warning or a record. Ask what it points to before deciding whether it is sacred.
