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)

Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about setting up my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thanks frisör döbelnsgatan stockholm canri.prizsewoman.com/map29.php

Howdy! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He continually kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this information to him. Pretty sure he'll have a great read. I appreciate you for sharing! odd molly fast lane markti.teswomango.com/map11.php

I am extremely impressed together with your writing skills and also with the format in your weblog. Is that this a paid topic or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it is uncommon to see a great weblog like this one these days.. nike väska herr wangha.teswomango.com/map18.php

Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based on the same topics you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would value your work. If you're even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail. golv i källare geti.prizsewoman.com/map8.php

Hello this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated! hur mycket blötmat ska en katt äta tipa.prizsewoman.com/map2.php
