What is recorded here

Standing stone in Meeneeshal stood on W. MacAuliffe's land until it was broken and removed, likely during human change rather than natural decay. It may have marked a boundary, a memory, a meeting place, or a warning, but no clear function has survived. What remains is a lost stone and the shape of the hands that took it down.
