Rock art

What is recorded here

Twenty metres southwest of the main Donegal rock art site, a small boulder hides five faint cupmarks on its smooth upper surface. Van Hoek identified the marks in 1987, pulling a quiet outlier from the grass and reminding that human hands shaped even the smallest stones in County Donegal. The distance is short enough to walk, yet the marks remain so faint they invite patience rather than certainty.
