What is recorded here

Drumirril 20 remains a rock art panel in County Monaghan, recorded in Blaze O' Connor's inventory of inscribed landscapes. People may have marked that stone during the prehistoric period, perhaps guiding memory, ownership or prayer through the monochrome terrain. The exact intention has faded, but the stones still hold the shape of human attention.
