What is recorded here

Annagh Rock, a quiet outcrop in County Louth, bears a cup and ring motif carved into solid stone. The mark sits within an undulating drumlin landscape, suggesting someone stood there long ago and chose that exact spot to press a tool into the earth. The carve is simple but deliberate, turning ordinary rock into a place remembered.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Cup and ring motif on rock outcrop in undulating drumlin landscape.
