Cupmarked stone in Connahill

Cupmarked stone

What is recorded here

According to Kinahan (1879-88, 157) there was a large flat rock with seven cup-marks on its surface just S of three hut-sites (WX002-040----) on the S-facing slope of Connagh Hill, at a location indicated on a field map of the Geological Survey of Ireland. The area is now forested and there is no indication of either the hut-sites or the rock art. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 1 February, 2012
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the cupmarked stone may have had ritual or ceremonial significance, possibly linked to water or fertility symbolism. No specific folklore is recorded for this site.
