What is recorded here

Letter West holds a small upright boulder, no taller than a kneeling child, whose sloping face carries meandering grooves joined into an irregular rectangle. Aoibheann Lambe and Ken Williams identified it on 11 June 2017, and its pock-marked lines still catch the eye like a forgotten gesture made in stone. Perhaps someone cut those grooves while the land was open, then turf cutting broke the boulder from a larger rock and left it standing alone. The shape is small enough to touch, old enough to withhold its meaning, and present enough to stop a person mid-step.

Rock art identified 11 June 2017 by Aoibheann Lambe and Ken Williams. Described by Aoibheann Lambe as an; 'upright loose boulder, 0.4m high, roughly triangular in cross section, may have been broken off a bigger rock in the course of turf cutting. Its inscribed trapezoid shaped face slopes steeply upwards 0.8m to NW and measures up to 0.4m across at its base. The decoration consists of pock marked grooves, the pocking being more distinct on its right side. The meandering grooves join to form an irregularly shaped sub-rectangle'.
