Rock Art, CLOGHER,MONASTERREDAN
Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age
On the top of a hill. Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and as 'Rock scribing\art possible'. The rock is known locally as the 'Danes Rock' and marks on it are thought to have been made by the Danes while sharpening their swords (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). A large rock outcrop, partly covered in moss and heather, was identified here. However, no rock art is visible on the exposed surfaces of the rock; striations, aligned NE-SW, are likely to be of glacial origin.
