Exploring Waterford's Ancient Monuments

Mysterious Rock Markings

Mysterious Rock Markings

"It was on the approach to ‘Coum Eag’ which is a dry Coum (hollow) in the Comeragh mountains that I came across this very interesting heather covered stone.

The earthfast rock has five of these curious rough circular markings on its upper surface with a further two continuing the line onto its vertical side (shaded in photo).

The curious depressions range in diameter from 2 – 5 cm with the five on the top surface covering an overall length of 30 cm.

What they represent is very difficult to say. They certainly appear to be man made and not naturally formed".

What is very interesting here though, is that the markings bear a striking resemblance to those found on a Kerbstone at Knockroe passage tomb in Co. Kilkenny. (photo below)

Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask! scott 26 tum unme.sewomabest.com/map6.php

Howdy would you mind letting me know which web host you're using? I've loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a reasonable price? Thank you, I appreciate it! livsmedel som bränner fett cliri.prizsewoman.com/map2.php

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say that you've done a amazing job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Exceptional Blog! dry scalp psoriasis wolre.teswomango.com/map4.php
