Until I was looking at some obscure records I wasn't aware of this panel - nor was the landowner, despite it being just 50m from the parent site. I checked it out while Ken was taking some amazing photos of the other stone. The record has it as a 'Cup-Marked Stone', which usually means it only has cup-marks. However, close inspection quickly revealed a ring around one of the cups. As dusk approached side-flash revealed an extremely worn ring around another cup.
One side of the earthfast boulder has been quarried away in antiquity, probably destroying some of the overall design. The level of erosion of the surface could mean that some of the other cups once had rings around them, too.
This site is in a different townland to the parent site, because, despite being within a stone's throw from it, the intervening field boundary is actually the border between Carrigeenshinnagh and Drummin townlands.
