Carrigillihy Cup Marked Stone View all content for Carrigillihy

Visible from the farm track and 82m southwest of the stone group, is a protruding rock, flat-faced on its northeastern side. Careful study of the larger, left-hand segment of this striated panel reveals an almost perfect semicircle of cup-shaped depressions, none wider than a stout fingertip. Close to the ground, on the lower, right-hand section, is a deeply scored lattice pattern. This may well be the "cupmarked stone" recorded on archaeology.ie, but it sits in a different part of the field, 58m west of the given coordinates.
