What is recorded here

This large angular boulder has three grooves, V-shaped in cross-section, running NE-SW across its NW face. One possible cupmark and two solution pits occur close to the SW ends of the grooves. O’Kelly suggested that the grooves were used to sharpen pointed implements (1958a, 3-4, No.5; Finlay 1973, 46-7). Cork University Press (1996), no. 273.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE071-015
