What is recorded here

Incorporated into a field fence, bordering the N side of a grassed-over laneway leading to Kilcar church (DG096-010005-) and graveyard (DG096-010007-). This consists of an irregular-shaped, earth-fast boulder (exposed L 1.68m; Wth. 0.22; max. H 1.1m), wedge shaped in section, aligned NE-SW, tapering to a point at the higher NE side. On the broad S-facing side of the stone there are a number of random narrow grooves or scores, following no discernible pattern, which according to Lacy (1983, 277, no. 1577) ‘are believed locally to be of ancient origin.’ Attached images: DG096-010006-_01.JPG DG096-010006-_02.JPG Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of revised upload: 24 April 2018
