.The largest stone at the site of Ballyedmonduff in County Dublin, Ireland has cupmarks which seem to mark Andromeda quite clearly.
As a matter of etymology, Dublin is Gaelic Baile Atta Cliath which I think meant Andromeda, perhaps ancient Kwet viz. Kuton (see R.H. Allen p. 36 in Star Names).
Perhaps all are related to Gaelic cliathach "slope, mountain side, side", and "side" was also its meaning in Arabic.
I have uploaded this stone as

to our files for Ancient Ireland.
