Rock art

What is recorded here

An exposed rock in County Kerry, Ireland, measuring 1.7m x 0.6m x 0.2m, bears two cup marks along its longest edge parallel with the road. George Currie identified the marks as rock art in 2018, revealing that this ordinary roadside stone carries an ancient human touch. The cups may have marked a boundary, recorded a event, or simply given shape to a passing thought.
