Cupmarked stone in Drummig

In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. At least 12 cupmarks (diam. 0.05-0.08m; D 0.005-0.02m) are visible on a flat stretch of bedrock (2m E-W; 1m N-S) surrounded by gorse and briars. A semicircular groove (diam. 0.2m), with a natural crack forming the straight side, incorporates one cupmark into its arc. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the cupmarked stone in Drummig may have had ritual or ceremonial significance, possibly linked to water or fertility symbolism. The presence of a semicircular groove suggests it could have been part of a ritual activity involving liquid offerings.
