What is recorded here
Garranabraher holds a rectangular standing stone, 1.1 metres tall, tilted NNW-SSE on a north-facing slope now buried under tillage. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial, or a warning, but its purpose has faded into the soil. It still stands because someone set it there, and the earth has not yet swallowed that choice.
In tillage, on N-facing slope. Rectangular stone (H 1.1m; 0.75m x 0.35m) long axis NNW-SSE.
See Excavations 2003, 58, no. 257 Fairhill, standing stone site.
