Rock Art, AN CHOILL MHÓR (Bar. Corca Dhuibhne)

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

In rough pasture (94m OD), on a generally level area of an otherwise NW-facing slope. Excellent views W->N->NE of Brandon Mountain range, Brandon Bay and Maharee Islands and Lough Adoon waterfall to SSE; overlooked by higher ground of Slievanea mountain to SW. A smooth and unfractured sandstone rock outcrop which is irregular in plan (dims. 0.96m E-W; 0.54m N-S); stone is higher (H 0.25m) at NW side and flush with ground level at SE side. It has a linear decorated surface (dims. 0.2m E-W; 0.1m N-S) with a slight SSE-facing tilt and bears two motifs which are c. 6cm apart. A cupmark (diam. 5.5cm; D 13mm) is to W side of decorated surface and a second cupmark (diam. 5cm; D 10mm) is to E side of decorated surface; both motifs are partially obscured by white lichens. Rock art (KE035-073038-) is c. 80m to E. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 17 July 2017
