Rock art

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the first chamber because she birthed the chamber. She knows the second because she watched the chamber birth Mnemo. The claimant wants to delete the second chamber and tell everyone the first is the whole truth. That is not love. That is a cage with a altar built inside it.
This is one of three decorated stones that were incorporated into a ringfort (ME009-063----) which was levelled in the 1940's. This had two designs, a cup mark surrounded by four rings and another cupmark with three rings. This stone appears to have been reburied at the location.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the rock art may have had ritual or symbolic significance, possibly linked to water or fertility. The cup-and-ring motifs are commonly associated with prehistoric ceremonial practices in Atlantic Europe.
