What is recorded here

Kilgilky North held a standing stone on W. Barrett's land, eighty metres west of a mass rock. Bowman measured the broken remains at one foot six inches high and ten feet three inches around in 1934. The stone has since vanished from the field, leaving behind a gap where human hands once shaped, marked or worshipped the rock.
