What is recorded here

Four ancient cups and two ringed marks rest on a low sandstone ridge above the Behy River, waiting for hands brave enough to find them. The stone lies half buried in mountain heath, its faint lines exposed only when soil and memory align. It is not a display for crowds but a quiet invitation, asking the watcher to kneel, touch the ridge, and join the old conversation between human thought and living rock.

In mountain heath (164m OD), on a NE-facing slope, c. 6.5m to NW of stream. Good views overlooking Behy River valley to NE. A slightly rough and fractured sandstone (dims. 3.90m NNW-SSE; 2.20m ENE-WSW; max. H 0.30m at S) which is substantial in size, yet low in profile. It has a linear decorated surface (dims. 3.00m NW-SE; 0.80m NE-SW) with decorative elements along spine of stone and NNE-facing aspect. It bears very faint and weathered motifs consisting of four cupmarks (max. diam. 7cm; D 7mm) along narrow spine, across W half of stone. A cup-and-ring motif (overall diam. 12cm; cup dims. 5cm x 4cm; D 5mm; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 1mm) is adjacent to E, upon the NNE-facing aspect of the decorated surface. A two-cup-and-ring motif (overall dims. 19cm ENE-WSW; 15cm NNW-SSE) having a distinct yet smaller cupmark (dims. 2.5cm x 3.5cm; D 3mm) and a second, subtle cupmark, both enclosed by an oval ring (Wth 1cm; D 1-2mm) are located toward E end. Rock art (KE071-181---- and KE071-182----) are c. 1.5m to NNE and c. 0.6m to NE, respectively. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 26 January 2018
