What is recorded here

Moss has claimed most of the rock at Magheranaul, yet two worn cupmarks still appear on its upper surface. They sit at the east end of a long ridge in County Donegal, beside a fallen stone the landowner believes stood until 1984. However bold that memory sounds, no one has proven the large block belonged to the distant past. The small rock, though, keeps its own quiet evidence: someone struck or cut those cups, then left them to weather with the ridge.

Described by Van Hoek as 'Another isolated rock marks the E end of the long ridge a few metres E of DON 11B (DG004-063001-). Two worn cupmarks could be detected on its upper, partially overgrown surface. North of this rock is a large block of stone said by the landowner to have been a standing stone which was knocked down in 1984. Its prehistoric origin could not be established' (Van Hoek 1987, 30).
