Archaeological surveys have documented these ancient carvings, though not all the rock faces in the area bear such marks. Van Hoek's 1987 investigation noted a smaller, ridge-like outcrop to the southwest that appeared largely undecorated, at least from what could be observed during inspection.

This particular outcrop has seen more recent human intervention; large stones cleared from nearby fields have been piled here over the years. Whilst these dumped blocks might seem unremarkable at first glance, closer examination reveals that at least one of them carries its own piece of history. Two faint cup marks, simple circular depressions carved into the stone, can still be made out on its surface.

These cup marks represent one of the most common forms of rock art found across Ireland and Britain, typically dating from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Though modest compared to more elaborate examples of prehistoric art found elsewhere, even these subtle markings connect modern Donegal to its ancient past, when unknown hands shaped stone for purposes we can only speculate about today.
