Cup-marked stone is a prehistoric rock surface bearing a series of cupules, located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The monument dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, when such carved depressions were created on exposed rock faces across northern Britain and Ireland, though the precise dating remains uncertain. The cup marks themselves are shallow circular indentations pecked or ground into the stone surface, a form of rock art that appears to have held ritual or symbolic significance for prehistoric communities. Such monuments are distributed widely across the upland regions of Ireland and represent an important category of evidence for understanding prehistoric artistic expression and land use in the region.
