Standing stone in Fanningstown (smallcounty By.)

Fanningstown holds a small irregular boulder of volcanic breccia beside its graveyard, measuring roughly three feet high and wide but under two feet thick. It is not a monumental pillar or a distant mythic marker; it is a compact stone sitting among the dead, visible enough to measure yet ordinary enough to overlook. That contrast gives the place its quiet strangeness: a small county landscape where human memory, graveyard routine and ancient stone pressure meet without ceremony.
