Rock Art, LISS

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

In mountain heath (60m OD), on a W-facing slope, to E of Staigue River. Excellent views of sea and Kenmare river estuary to S. A very rough and fractured sandstone (dims. 4.90m NNW-SSE; 3.8m ENE-WSW; max. H 1.80m at W) having a flat, subrectangular decorated surface (dims. 4.30m ESE-WNW; 0.90m NNE-SSW) which is very weathered. A cupmark (dims. 4.5cm N-S; 5cm E-W; D 10mm) is located centrally upon highest part of rock surface. A meandering line (Wth 1cm; D 5-15mm) adjacent to W appears natural, although may have been a rock art groove that has weathered beyond identification. A drystone boundary (long-axis N-S) and field fence, overgrown with molinia, abuts rock outcrop to N. Rock art (KE107-010----) is located c. 100m to W and is visible from this location. This monument was initially identified as rock art by A. Lambe (2013). Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 7 July 2017
