What is recorded here
Dromavrauka holds five small stones marked by pilgrim cuts near All Saint's Well in County Kerry. The stone behind the well carries a plain cross, repeated enough to suggest that people returned there across time, cutting faith into rock rather than writing it down.
One of five cross-inscribed stones (see KE076-015001-, KE076-015002-, KE076-015003-, KE076-015004-) adjacent to All Saint's Well (KE076-015----). This small stone lies behind the well and and pilgrims have incised on it a plain cross.
