What is recorded here

Half a metre of grey stone stands upright in the north of Moybologue graveyard, wearing a single shallow cup on its south face. The hollow is wide enough to catch rain or hold a marble, yet small enough to suggest a child’s hand or a quick divine gesture. People may have moved it from the gate, set it beside a dead body, or simply left it somewhere visible because the cup demanded attention. Whatever the intention, the stone still points south, waiting for water, memory, or a finger to test its depth.

Set upright as a grave-marker in the N part of Moybologue graveyard (CV034-046007-) is a stone (dims 0.3m x 0.17m; H 0.5m) with a single hollow (diam. 0.15m; D 0.05m) on a S-facing broad side. This could be the small bullaun stone that was reported as being at the gate of the graveyard (Davies 1948, 114). See the attached image: Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 19 March 2020

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the cupmarked stone in Relagh Beg may have had ritual or symbolic significance, possibly linked to funerary practices or local beliefs. Such stones are often associated with marking burial sites or serving as focal points for ceremonial activity.
