What is recorded here
Coomasaharn holds one cup ringed twice and three smaller cups, marking the rock as art rather than random damage. The distinction matters because people saw the rock, judged it worth recording, and refused to let it disappear into ordinary stone. That act of recognition is the life of the place: a small set of marks became a landmark because someone believed the rocks could still speak.
The rock is 2m south of a field boundary and among field clearance, although it may be in situ and not part of the clearance. The markings consist of one cup with two rings and three small cups. Identified as rock art by George Currie (2018).
