What is recorded here
Carrowreagh and Craignacally hold one cupmark on an outcrop two hundred metres west of the graveyard, a tiny deliberate puncture in the skin of County Donegal. That much distance from death suggests the mark belonged to the living, perhaps guiding water, measuring shadow or recording a promise no longer spoken. The stone still keeps its small hole while memory has vanished, waiting for someone to notice that even one cupmark is an invitation to remember.
Described by Van Hoek as 'On an outcrop some 200m W of the graveyard, and in the next field is one cupmark' (Van Hoek 1988, 46).
