Image of Ballyduff (Cup Marked Stone) by ryaner

Uprooted and shoved to the side of the field. At least the carved top-side was left visible and some care was taken to preserve the piece.

LM for scale. The carved surface with “at least 40 cupmarks” is mainly to the left of the top of the stone. The remaining uncarved top part was probably buried. The whole stone was uprooted and is interesting in that it indicates that what we see of these carved panels may only be the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.
