What is recorded here

Drumirril 23 is a rock art panel in County Monaghan, Ireland. It is one of many places where ancient hands marked stone before written history. The markings may have guided people through the landscape or recorded events now lost. They still invite wonder because they connect the present to lives that never spoke their own names.
