What is recorded here

Four small cups and one oval dish are cut into a south-facing rock in Lissanoohig pasture, County Cork. A holy well lies 170m east, suggesting the stone may have marked water, ritual or boundary long before anyone wrote it down. Sheep still walk past it, indifferent to the hands that shaped it.

In pasture, on S-facing slope; holy well (CO141-020---) c. 170m to E. Rock outcrop with four cup-marks (max. diam. 0.1m) and an oval depression (L 0.36m; Wth 0.27m; D 0.08m) which may have been a bullaun. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992).
