Rock Art, FLETCHERSTOWN

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

Situated on a low-lying, level landscape. A large stone (dims 1.7m x 0.9-1m x 0.9-1m) came to light before 1970 with a single motif of four concentric penannular rings (int. diam. 0.08m; max. ext. diam. 0.25m). The opening (Wth 0.3m) extends through the four rings at the same point. The stone is now kept at a house in Braystown, Rathbranchurch. (Clinton 1983) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 16 April 2019
