What is recorded here

Described by Kinahan (1884, 227 (stone F)) as 'a slightly dome-shaped stone, its surface being nearly level with that of the ground. The cups are both numerous and deep although bits of the surface have been flaked by fire.' The location indicated by Kinahan (1884, 224) was inspected by ASI in 1990, however this stone was not located. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 21 August 2013

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the rock art at Ballykean may have had ritual or symbolic significance, possibly linked to water or fertility due to the prevalence of cup marks. Local folklore or specific use is not recorded.
