What is recorded here

Standing stone in Urraghil Beg, a 1ft 11in stone with 8ft 2in girth recorded by Bowman on Ellen Clifford's land, still belongs to Urraghil Beg even though the exact spot has faded from memory. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning, and Ellen Clifford's family may have walked past it so often it stopped feeling strange. The stone is small enough to overlook and old enough to refuse forgetting.
