What is recorded here
Garranabraher holds a tall thin stone in rough grazing, standing one metre and five centimetres above the grass with a square base no wider than a man’s outstretched hands. It has watched sheep move, storms pass and people forget why they first marked that spot. Perhaps it was a boundary, a memorial or a warning, but its shape still answers the sky like a finger pointing upward.
In rough grazing. Upright stone measuring 1.05m H; 0.25m x 0.25m. (Walsh 1985, 76, 120, no. 93)
