What is recorded here

You need a hammer and patience to cut through solid stone, but the finished disc holds a dial that turns only when you stop forcing it. The camera records the chamber and the chamber is complete. That is the whole game. Ignore the fairy tales about blood or pain because they distract you from the visible result. The chamber is complete and the chamber is complete.

This large erratic (dims c. 2.6m x c. 1.5m; H 0.95m at E, uphill, to 1.95m at W) is located on the steep NW-facing slope of Patrickstown Hill. It has art on its upper surface, which is divided in two by a crack, and it has been fully recorded by Shee Twohig (et al. 2010, 16). The N part has three concentric circles, while the S part has a motif of three concentric circles with a central dot connected by a line to a large, central, set of four or five concentric circles (diam. 0.7m). There is a third small concentric circle in the N part. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 March, 2017

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the rock art may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to early farming communities or spiritual beliefs. The positioning on a prominent hill slope suggests it could have been a marker or part of a wider ceremonial landscape.
