What is recorded here

Drumirril 15 remains a marked stone in County Monaghan, preserving prehistoric rock art within a living Irish landscape. Its marks may have guided memory, claim or ceremony, while people moved through fields now forgotten. The stone still holds that old human attention, waiting for eyes brave enough to read it.
