Rock Art, THREEWELLS

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

Site described by Dr. Clíodhna Ní Lionáin of the UCD Wicklow Rock Art Project as following; 'This slab is located around 300m northeast and uphill of WI034-030----. It has been placed against a field boundary hedgerow, just inside the field gate. This sub-rectangular granite slab (1.14m long x 0.82m wide x 0.23m high) has a mottled coloured surface, presumably a result of lichen growth. There is a scatter of at least 8 cupmarks (4.5cm diameter, 2cm deep) and another 5 possible cupmarks, which are concentrated on the end of the decorated face which is closest to the field boundary. They do not appear to form any particular pattern'(www.wicklowrockartproject.com).
