Standing stone in Errigal

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Errigal is a tall mountain in County Cavan, Ireland, and a standing stone still exists there. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial or a prayer, but no clear account survives. It is not a modern sculpture or a copied feature. A person may have set it, touched it or watched it in rain. The mountain kept the stone while human memory faded.
