What is recorded here
Kildromalive holds a flat rock where light and shadow reveal small cup marks arranged in a simple geometric pattern. The finder wishes to call it the Catherine Stone, honouring Catherine Walsh and giving the ancient marks a living name. Under that request, the rock becomes a bridge between generations, memory and time.
Exaggerated shadows on a rock surface (L 1.2m; Wth 0.75m) revealed a number of 'finger-top sized' cup marks in a simple geometric motif. Possible further smaller depressions further down the length. Orientation NE to SW. Person who found the stone expressed a wish that it would be known as 'the Catherine Stone' in remembrance of a Great-Grandmother, Catherine Walsh.
