Located off the ardamore road, the gate is marked by a handwritten standing stone sign. 400m down the path is a sectioned off field on the left with the stone row and outlier. From this angle it reminded me of a giant hand reaching out of the soil, but I often see rocky digits if the stones are slender enough. I reckon they marked a boundary, but some suggest an astral alignment. Lovely surrounds too and a helpful farmer.

Pointing out the cup and ring with my stick.
The very faint remains of a cup and ring. There are other cup and rings but they are very faint.
This rock art is on a huge outlier of an impressive stone row.
The inventory mentions that it has “a cup and 2 circles centrally positioned on the face; below this are 2 cup and circles and grouped together at the base of the stone are 2 cup and circles with radial lines and a cup and incomplete cirlce. In addition there are 7 plain cup-marks and a series of linear grooves”.
I visited this rock art at 12 noon when this side of the stone was in shadow and so could not get a great picture of the art. Even inspecting visually I could only make out the main cup and ring that I pointed out. I would think that someone with better photography skills would be able to make much more out of this panel.
