What is recorded here

Carrowreagh and Craignacally hold small rock cups set inside a triangle of standing stones. A person may have knelt there to mark water, sacrifice butter, or simply watch the stones align at sunrise. The rock still keeps that shape, waiting for hands to return.

Described by Van Hoek as 'Some 7m E of DON 10B (DG003-006002-), in a line between DON 10B and standing stone YY to the E, is a small outcrop escarpment with two clear cups and a fainter one. From this site may be seen all three standing stones XX, YY and ZZ, as the site is roughly in the middle of the triangle formed by the standing stones' (Van Hoek 1988, 46).

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the rock art may have had ritual or symbolic significance, possibly linked to water sources or territorial markers. The cups may represent natural or spiritual features, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
