Rock Art, MAGHERANAUL

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

An area largely consisting of exposed rock slab interrupted by stretches of turf. There are three sets of rock marks in a rough N-S line (M. R. Colhoun). a to the S, b in the middle and c to the N. A fourth set, d, is located just to the W. It is possible that there are further examples here. They are situated on a virtually horizontal rock surface sloping S to the channel between the Isle of Doagh and the mainland. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
