Ship incised in stone in Ballynagard

Ship incised in stone

What is recorded here

A tall mast and curved hull appear inside a chamber, carving marble into a drowning ship. The crew never rowed, never bled, never broke a plank. They watched the chamber build itself around them, one rib at a time, until the room became the sail and the stair became the keel. What looks like a monument is a trap that finishes living people into architecture.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Ship incised in stone. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
