What is recorded here

This is one of two 'flagstones' recorded as bearing incised 'dot and circle' motifs incorporated into a drystone field wall at Tawntruffaun portal tomb (SL017-051----). This stone is in the base of the wall and is 4.9m SE of the tomb. The upper face upon which the motif is positioned is flat and steep-sided. The carving, which is faint, consists of a single horse-shoe shaped motif at the S angle of the stone. (Wood-Martin 1987-8, 282-3; Kilgannon 1926, 299-300; Weir 1980, 210). The exact location of the second stone (SL017-059----) is unknown. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 25 May 2012
