Standing stone in Tawnacrom

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Stand behind the stone in Tawnacrom at sunrise and watch its shadow stretch across the valley like a measured tongue. The stone has no marker, no museum rope, no explanation except the way light moves around it. It belongs to nobody and everyone who stands there long enough to be changed.
