What is recorded here

At the very NW end of the Magheranaul ridge, four faint cups and one ringed cup were carved into a low rock outcrop sloping nine degrees to the SSW. By 1988, dynamite had destroyed the quarry site and erased the carvings. Whatever hand made those marks, and whatever they marked, the ridge keeps that loss closed inside its stone.

Described by Van Hoek as 'At the very NW end of the ridge is a large area of low rock outcrop. On a part near the scarp are some faint carvings. There are ar least four single cups and one other cup with one complete (or possibly gapped) ring. It is almost impossible to say whether it has a tail to the E. There is also a doubtful cup, partially encircled by an irregular groove of uncertain origin. The surface slopes 9 degrees to the SSW where carved' (fig. 8H) (Van Hoek 1987, 38). This area of rock outcrop had been blown up with dynamite for quarrying by 1988 (Van Hoek 1988, 47). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: : 30 May 2010
