What is recorded here

Tullyarvan holds a displaced stone, large enough to span a room, said to carry hidden cupmarks beneath its base. The marks remain unproven because the stone left its ditch beside a nearby cashel, yet the claim insists someone once bent low to read what the ground concealed. That much is enough to imagine hands tracing shallow bowls in darkness, turning ordinary rock into a temporary record.

A stone, 3.4m × 0.55m × 0.35m, not now in its original position, is said to have cupmarks on the underside but this could not be verified. It was formerly situated in a ditch to the N of a nearby cashel (DG029-019001-) on high ground sloping to the SW. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.'
