Rock Art, DROMAVALLY (Corkaguiny By.)

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

This stone was located on level ground at the E edge of Dromavally Bog which lies between the Owenascaul river to W and the foot of the mountain range to N. The decoration consisted of 3 cup-and-circles and a larger 'saucer-like hollow' (O'Connell 1939, 17). The stone was broken up and removed during land reclamation and only a low undecorated stump remains. A pair of standing stones are located c. 150m to E (KE044-027----). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 181. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

Narrow view of Owenascaul River valley to WSW, between the two stands of coniferous forestry. Not seen. According to Cuppage (1986, 62), ‘This stone was located on level ground at the E edge of Dromavally Bog which lies between the Owenascaul river to W and the foot of the mountain range to N.
