What is recorded here

Rock art in Carrowreagh OR Craignacally holds one large cupmark and a faint ring on a sloping Donegal escarpment, isolated south of the main group. The slight off-centre placement suggests a human hand, not a tool guided by reason. Maybe someone marked a boundary, a memory or a gift for the rain.

Identified by Van Hoek in 1987 and described as 'An isolated site S. of the main group and some 335m ESE. of Ballymacmoriarty farm. The rock forms part of an escarpment and slopes down some 13 degrees to the SW. Near its E end is a large (8cm) cupmark, slightly off-centre, surrounded by one faint complete ring' (Van Hoek 1987, 28). Van Hoek, M.A. M.
