What is recorded here

Standing stone in Figart (figart Ed) rises 1.1m on good land at Figart, its flat face tilted slightly across the hill slope like a hand still pressing through earth. People may have set it where a path bent or a boundary changed, then forgotten the reason while remembering the shape. It remains not as a monument to pride but as a marker of attention, waiting for someone to notice what the land was holding still.
