Rock Art, DERREENNACLOGH

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

In rough pasture, upon a plateau, at a slightly lower location, c. 33m to E of rock art panel (CO131-074----). A slightly rough and fractured sandstone outcrop which is flush with the existing ground level and has recently been de-turfed (D 0.15-0.2m) in places to expose an unusual motif. A man-made D-shaped feature (long-axis N-S) which has a slight indent in straight side to W. Motif is defined by a groove (Wth 3-4mm; D 2-3mm). A collapsed drystone wall has also recently been uncovered beneath the sod, c. 0.25m to W. This is not typical rock art and may even appear modern, although it has only recently been de-turfed. Only a portion of this rock expanse has been uncovered and other motifs may survive under the remaining sod. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 13 July 2017
