Boheh Stone, Neolithic rock art site near Westport, Ireland.
The Boheh Stone features 250 petroglyphs carved into a natural outcrop of rock with quartz flecks on the western side of a hill.
The stone received its markings around 3800 BC and later became a waypoint on Tóchar Phádraig, connecting Rathcroghan to Croagh Patrick.
The stone contains cup and ring marks along with keyhole motifs that researchers suggest may represent ancient constellations visible from Ireland in 4100 BC.
Visitors can reach the national monument by traveling 6.4 kilometers south-southwest from Westport in County Mayo through local roads.
On April 18 and August 24, observers at the stone witness the sun aligning with Croagh Patrick's summit, creating an effect of rolling down the mountain.
