What is recorded here

Half the stone is still missing, buried beneath living peat. A hand may have cut two small cups before the bog swallowed the rest, or water may have bitten them later. The mountain watches either way.

In mountain heath (198m OD), in an area of cutaway blanket bog, on a gentle NE-facing slope. Excellent view of Behy river valley to NE and overlooked by horseshoe of mountains enclosing SE->SW->N. A very rough and fractured sandstone (dims. 1.30m NE-SW; 0.45m NW-SE; max. H 0.12m at N) which is subrectangular in plan. It is very low in profile and situated within a broad turf-bank (long-axis NE-SW), whereby it is only partially exposed, being covered by peat E->S->W. The decorated surface (dims. 0.30m NE-SW; 0.10m NW-SE) is generally level with a slight S-facing aspect. The motifs are weathered yet traceable, consisting of a large cupmark (diam. 7cm; D 5mm) and a smaller cupmark (diam. 5cm; D 11mm), c. 0.22m to SW; possibly deepened by weathering. There may be additional motifs under the sod. Rock art (KE071-002----) is c. 2.5m to NW. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 18 July 2017

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this rock art may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to landscape features such as the Behy river valley and surrounding mountains. No specific folklore is recorded for the site.
