What is recorded here

Standing stone in Toughraheen is a 1.3m tall, 1.2m wide, 0.6m deep stone oriented ENE-WSW in undulating rough pasture in County Cork, Ireland. It is the kind of place where a person may have stood at dawn, marked a boundary, or watched the sky tilt over the pasture. The stone does not need a grand claim; it is large enough to see, old enough to remember, and still present in the field.
