What is recorded here
Com Na Heorna Thiar holds a sandstone boulder marked with cupmarks and an incomplete ring, yet scarring beneath suggests the rock was dragged elsewhere before being set down again. The marks may have belonged to a larger surface now lost, preserving only a fragment of an older design. What remains is a broken ring and scattered cups, waiting to be read as much by imagination as by measurement.
Rock art identified and described by Aoibheann Lambe as follows; 'Scarring on the underside of the boulder would suggest it has been moved from its original location. Sandstone boulder with 3+ cupmarks on the upper section of its top surface while on the lower section there are a number of cupmarks and a cup-and-ring. The ring is incomplete where it meets the edge of the rock’s surface'.
