What is recorded here

Identified by Van Hoek in 1987 and described as 'On a horizontal part of a large outcrop forming part of a SW. facing escarpment are 17 clear cupmarks, one surrounded by a faintly pocked complete ring. On the NW part is a small cross. As this cross-mark seems to be incised it is most likely Early Christian, although it closely resembles similar crosses at Mevagh G (DON 88) which are probably prehistoric (Van Hoek and Van Hoek 1985, fig. 2)' (Van Hoek 1987, 28). Van Hoek, M.A. M. (1987) 'The prehistoric rock art of County Donegal (part 1)' UJA vol. 50, 23-46. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 30 May 2010
