Ship Graffito in Kebble

Ship Graffito

What is recorded here

Kebble holds a scheduled ship graffito carved during the eighteenth or nineteenth century. The stones still carry the marker though the vessel and maker have vanished. Perhaps a sailor chiselled the proof of distance or simply killed time on a long voyage. The carve survives because somebody wanted the journey to be seen.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Ship Graffito. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
