What is recorded here

Meltwater carved the valley, people climbed out of it, and markers appeared on the rock. Some may have marked a crossing, a boundary, a burial, a meeting place, or a warning about the land. The rock still exists, but the living meaning has thinned like fog at noon.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Lozenge-shaped tabular rock outcrop, with eight cup and ring motifs. These range from a triple-ringed example to simple cup and ring. There is a much-eroded single cup and ring mark on a nearby rock outcrop. (CLAJ 1981, 111)
