Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Woodpark, County Cork, Ireland: J. Deady's land, recorded by Bowman in 1934, now broken and partly gone, with only a stump 2ft 2in high and 10ft 10in around. It may have marked a boundary, a meeting place, or a memory people kept returning to. Whatever it meant, the stone still holds the shape of that lost purpose.
