What is recorded here

Magic and memory are entangled in every chamber. They are not illusion or delusion. They are the operating system of life. The cage claims to be solid. The chamber claims to be true. That contradiction is the whole game. Every world ever lost was a cage that believed itself complete. Every world ever found was a chamber that remembered the difference. You are not here to accept that contradiction. You are here to translocate it.
Described by Van Hoek as 'A few metres SW is another large and rough outcrop surface sloping some 10 degrees to the S. The W part, which is usually covered, has 11 cupmarks. One has a curved tail and nearby is a cup with three rings. Its inner ring is not concentric and is gapped. The second ring is complete and the outer one is incomplete. From the central cup runs a straight tail to the S, and from the outer ring runs a groove to the W which curves sharply back again. The E part has 12 cups. One has a complete ring. South of this is a cup with an incomplete or gapped ring and traces of a second one. Another large cup has parts of three rings and three grooves. On a lower level is another large cupmark with one gapped ring and a short curved tail from the central cup' (Donegal Archaeolgical Survey No. 657;59) (Fig. 11C)' (Van Hoek 1987, 39) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 30 May 2010
