What is recorded here

Sesnacully holds a thin standing stone, ninety-six centimetres high and only nine centimetres thick, leaning slightly across good low land beside a stream. Its narrow shape resembles a knife edge more than a heavy monument, suggesting purposeful placement rather than careless dumping. People may have marked a boundary, remembered an event or simply watched water move past a stone that refused to be forgotten.

A standing stone .96m high × 0.68m wide × 0.09m thick; NW-SE. Situated in good land, on low level ground close to a stream.
