What is recorded here
Carrowreagh holds at least twelve shallow cups on a large outcrop, buried beside a wall and across a slight valley. Someone struck that stone repeatedly, perhaps marking a boundary, counting livestock or leaving a prayer for rain. The cups remain shallow because rain and foot traffic have softened them, yet they still protrude through grass and moss.
Described by Van Hoek as 'Some 50m SE of DON 3 (DG003-012-----), across this slight valley and just N of a wall, is a large outcrop with at least 12 shallow cups in various places' (Van Hoek 1988, 45).
