What is recorded here

Knockbrack holds a granite boulder where someone smoothed the rock, cut eleven cups and grooved eleven radiating lines around a larger cup and circle. The edge still shows its bevel, but weather has softened the marks, turning sharp intention into a faint pulse beneath moss and rain.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 9 August 2010 Granite boulder (decorated surface, 0.80m x 0.88m). Surface prepared before decoration, with bevel around edge of stone. Decoration consists of eleven cupmarks, and eleven grooved lines, radiating from larger of two cup and circle symbols.
