Standing stone in Mosstown (rathcline By.)

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No stone remains in the undulating meadowland of Mosstown, Rathcline By. The oldest local survey marked a standing stone there, but newer maps erased it. The meadow keeps the shape of what disappeared, inviting people to imagine whether men moved the stone, buried it or simply stopped seeing it.
