What is recorded here
Under a torn boulder in Burren, small cup marks dimple the stone like forgotten coins. Someone knelt there in the dark ages, pressing a tool into rock until it yielded. The broken underside hints the ground itself once raged, freeing what burial or moss might have hidden.
A large boulder that has a section of its underside broken off. The upper surface of the boulder contains a number of cup-mark depressions (pers. comm. G. Burns and J. Nolan).
