What is recorded here

This sub-triangular-shaped stone (L 1.05m x Wth 1m x H 0.9m) has been moved to its present location on a green area in front of Ballinteer Shopping Centre, Co. Dublin, adjacent to the bus shelter. The original location of this rock is unknown. There are at least 6 cup-marks visible on one face of the rock.  There is evidence of stone cutting channels on the surface and on the side of the stone, and these holes may be related to this type of stone cutting rather than the remains of prehistoric cup-marks.   Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Martin Fitzmaurice
