What is recorded here

No human has touched those shallow cups since the last owner died. The stone sits on the ringfort bank like a forgotten altar, four small bowls facing the lake where breath becomes visible in winter. What was poured or placed there has stopped, but the shape remains, waiting for the next person foolish enough to remember it.

In pasture, on S-facing slope, overlooking Curraghalicky Lake to SE. Large boulder dumped on SE bank ringfort (CO120-038001-); four shallow cupmarks on upper surface. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
