Cupmarked stone in Ballynacallagh

Cupmarked stone

What is recorded here

Cupmarked stone in Ballynacallagh is a recumbent stone with five cupmarks, not a hidden chamber or invented temple. It lies on the west bank of a stream north of a standing stone in County Cork, small enough to overlook and strange enough to remember. Whoever marked it worked wet stone, repeated the hollow, and left a place where water, chalk and human patience still meet.
On W bank of stream, N of standing stone (CO126-010002-). Recumbent stone with five cupmarks. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
