Cupmarked stone in Arduslough

In rough pasture, on an E-facing slope, to the rear of a farm building. Three cupmarks (max. diam. 0.05m; max. D 0.02m) are visible on the almost flat upper surface of an earth-fast slab (2.6m E-W; 2.2m N-S; H 0.3m at its NE corner) which protrudes just above ground level.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the cupmarked stone in Arduslough may have held ritual or ceremonial significance, possibly linked to water or fertility symbolism. Such stones are often associated with wider ritual landscapes, though local folklore or specific use remains unrecorded.
