What is recorded here

Carrowreagh holds a weathered cupmark with three complete rings on a smooth outcrop just south of a fence, while a low standing stone waits fourteen metres further south. The marking sits beside a visible mass rock, suggesting the area once hosted a cluster of stone features rather than a single isolated mark. A person may have chiselled the rings during a storm or a quiet summer evening, using the smooth rock as a canvas for memory. The grass and rain have since softened the edges, but the rings still distinguish themselves from the surrounding stone.

Identified by Van Hoek in 1987 and described as 'Some 122m SW of the Mass Rock (DG003-005----) which is visible from the site, and just S of a fence is a small outcrop in grass, sloping 8 degrees SE from near the top of a very low knoll. On its smooth surface is (though much weathered) a cupmark with three complete rings. There might be a tail from the central cup. Some 14m to the S is a low standing stone (DG003-015001-), possibly prehistoric. ' (Van Hoek and Van Hoek 1985, fig. 3C)' (Van Hoek 1987, 28). Van Hoek, M.A. M.
