Rock Art, COOMASAHARN
Cupmarked stone in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age
This large angular boulder has three grooves, V-shaped in cross-section, running NE-SW across its NW face. One possible cupmark and two solution pits occur close to the SW ends of the grooves. O’Kelly suggested that the grooves were used to sharpen pointed implements (1958a, 3-4, No.5; Finlay 1973, 46-7). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 273. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
