What is recorded here

Doagh Isle keeps a slim stone standing in arable land, its base buried beneath soil that has been turned for generations. The slope drops south toward the shore, where seawater and rain have worn the edge of the field clean. A standing stone is not a complete sentence, but it is still a marker: someone lived near that edge, watched the water, and left a shape the land has not erased.

A standing stone 1.4m high × 0.67m wide; E-W. Situated in arable land sloping down to the shore on the S side of Doagh Isle.
