Rock art in Magheranaul

Rock art

What is recorded here

Two faint cup marks sit on a wet heather-covered rock in County Donegal, visible only when rain darkens the surface. They are small, hidden in plain sight, and older than memory. A person may have knelt there in damp darkness, pressing a tool into stone while watching the southern horizon. The cups remain less as art than as a reminder that attention, not size, makes a place worthy of seeing.
Situated On the S facing slope of poorly drained heather covered land with good views to the S. Sheet of rock outcrop with a faint single cup mark visible on the wetahered surface of the rock. The rock immediately beside this rock has a second cup mark visible. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 30 May 2010
