Rock Art, COOMASAHARN

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

On a bog trackway, on a gentle NE-facing slope (152m OD), c. 6.5m to NE of rock art site (KE071-060----). Views of Behy River valley to N. A smooth and unfractured sandstone rock outcrop (dims. 1.40m NW-SE; 1.65m NE-SW; max. H 0.25m at N) with an irregular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 0.45m NW-SE; 0.40m NE-SW) which is flat with a very slight E-facing tilt. The rock outcrop occupies most of trackway width and is slightly damaged by vehicles. Motifs are concentrated to S-end of rock face and are worn due to location on trackway. The motifs consist of eight subtle cupmarks (average diam. 2-3cm; D 2-5mm), five of which are clustered to SE margin and three close to NW.
