Opinions vary, with suggestions of their origin ranging from Ogham, tool sharpening, tally marks, pilgrim markings.. to natural weathering.

Local lore says that in medieval times, pilgrims passing by these rocks would leave marks as a form of communication.

Regardless of their origin, this is a beautiful place to take a walk and watch the sunset.
