Rock Art, DERRYNABLAHA

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

In rough pasture, just below a break of a SE-facing slope (173m OD). Overlooking Kealduff river valley NE->E->SE with a view of Lough Brin to E. A slightly rough and fractured sandstone rock (2.5m N-S; 2.0m E-W; H 2.5m) which is cut into hillslope at W-side. It has a sub-rectangular decorated surface (dims. 0.16m N-S; 0.16m E-W) with a S-facing aspect. There is a cup-and-one ring motif (diam. 0.16m) which has been roughly picked out of this rock face. The inner ring (Wth 2cm; D 2mm) and outer ring (Wth 1.5cm; D 2mm) also appears to be roughly picked out of the stone surface. The rings are penannular and are complete SE->W->N->NE. Rock art (KE082-028----) is c. 50m to NW. A deserted clachan is c. 55m to WNW and an abandoned farmhouse is c. 40m to E. Short portion of field boundary removed, adjacent to W.
