Rock Art, GLENINSHEEN
Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age
On the inner face of the northern and southern orthostats of Gleninsheen wedge tomb (CL005-133----) on the Burren plateau. Five and possibly six cupmarks (Wth 0.01-0.025m; D 0.01-0.015m) are visible in particular lighting conditions on the interior of the northern orthostat and one on the southern one. A possible circular area of light pecking is also visible adjacent to the northern group. It is possible that the largest and deepest cupmark was a natural feature augmented by pecking.
