Doire Fhionáin Beag holds an earthfast sandstone boulder marked with six or more cupmarks and a dynamite hole. Ancient hands may have pressed those cups into warm stone before modern tools scarred the same surface. The boulder survives both rituals and violence, waiting for people willing to read its layered memory.
