Rock art

What is recorded here

Eighty cup-marks and rosettes carve the upper surface, waiting for hands that disappeared centuries ago. The stones hold a language older than writing, inviting people to touch what others forgot.
A series of c. 80 cup-marks, several cup-and-ring marks and rosette motifs are carved on the upper surface of this (pers. comm. G. Burns and J. Nolan). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 16 November 2012
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this rock art may have had ritual or symbolic significance, possibly linked to water sources or territorial markers. Cup-and-ring motifs are commonly associated with ceremonial or spiritual practices in prehistoric Ireland.
