Rock Art, DOIRE FHIONÁIN BEAG

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

In improved pasture (44m OD), on a SE-facing slope. Surrounded by low hills and mountains with good views of Cahernageeha Mountain to N and Caherdaniel Fort (KE106-063001-) to E. A smooth and fractured sandstone (dims. 1.60m N-S; 2.00m E-W; max. H 0.70m) having two decorated surfaces. Motifs not readily visible upon this aspect due to large sandstone boulder (dims. 1.65m N-S; 2.2m E-W; H 1.7m) resting against it at an angle. Motifs not easily accessible for identification or measurement, as the angle between the rock art boulder and the stone resting against it, is too narrow. Surface of the rock art stone is uneven, however the presence of some cupmarks can be confirmed. The decorative element upon the flat top surface (dims. 0.10m N-S; 0.10m E-W) consists of a single cupmark (diam. 6.5cm; D 5mm). This monument was initially identified as rock art by Aoibheann Lambe (2015). Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 7 July 2017
