Rock Art, FANANIERIN

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

Noted by Price in 1937 (Corlett and Weaver 2002 Vol. 1, 286). A subrectangular recumbent slab of schist. The slab measures 1.65m N-S x 90cm E-W, and stands only 10cm above the surrounding ground surface. There are about 17 cup marks in total, scattered randomly across the surface, but mostly around the middle area of the stone. Four of these form a distinct linear pattern on the E side of the stone. The cup marks range from 4 to 5cm across and 1.5cm to 2cm deep. Several of the cup marks are quite small and measure 2cm to 3cm across and 1cm deep.
