What is recorded here

In Townparks, a stone stands 1.5m high, 0.25m wide and 0.2m thick. Small stones pack its base, and the ground slopes west toward Abbey Bay. It is not a ruin or a monument to a named event. It is a marker, a boundary, a prayer or a warning. People may have passed it for centuries, reading it as much as reading a road.
