Cup and Ring marks or other Rock Art in Co. Wicklow

By the far hedge of a field to the S of the by-road from Togher/Roundwood to Lough Dan, dug up from the field and placed among other boulders along the hedge, is a stone 1.2 metres long and about 38 cms high, with 14 cup-marks on its upper surface, ranging from 10 to 11.3 cms in diameter and up to 7.6 cms deep. One is surrounded by a ring, and a pair has a partial ring. There are also wide, almost parallel, grooves. Two other similar stones have been reported to have been found in adjacent fields.

Does anyone know an estimated date of the cup and ring marks, and how the date was estimated?
