What is recorded here
Carrowreagh and Craignacally hold a rock with two large cupmarks and seven midget cups, marking human presence in County Donegal before written history. The small cups suggest careful carving, perhaps for prayer, play or identity, while the larger ones anchor the work in ritual or warning. People may have gathered there to read the stones, change them or remember what the land had already taught them.
Described by Van Hoek as 'Just W of DON 10 (DG003-007----) is a rock with two cupmarks and also some seven midget cups' (Van Hoek 1988, 46).
