Rock Art, CORK CITY

Rock art (present location) in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

Donated to UCC from the collection of Admiral Boyle Somerville (1938, 59) and said to come from Bluid (see CO151-051----). Shee (1968, 149) describes a stone '75cm x 50cm and approximately 10cm thick' with 'cupmarks on both faces'. Face A has eight cup-marks, linearly arranged; face B has fourteen cup-marks arranged in semi-circular patterns. This is the present location of the rock (Cork Public Museum). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 29 March 2009
