What is recorded here
Kevin, a young boy with a red scarf, stood before the tall stone and whispered a promise he never kept. The stone swallowed his words and waited. Years later Kevin returned older, forgotten by the world but remembered by the rock. The stone gave back his promise and took his years instead.
The standing stone (KE066-060----) was moved from its original location in the N half of the field and dumped in its present location in the SW corner of the same field. This record number has been created for the present location of the stone.
