What is recorded here

Orpen found a single cup-and-circle on a rock at Ballinvownig in 1908, but the stone vanished from local memory before anyone could protect it. The mark may have been a boundary, a gift, or a joke thrown against heaven. It still exists somewhere under grass, waiting for a hungry eye.

The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 173.
