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

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

In rough pasture (90m OD), on a 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 (dims. 1.35m E-W; 0.34m N-S) which is flush with the existing ground level. It has a subrectangular decorated surface (dims. 0.09 E-W; 0.15m N-S) which is generally flat with a slight NNE-facing tilt. The decorated surface bears a cluster of five small cupmarks (diam. 12-15mm; D 2-3mm) off-centre to S. A series of linear grooves of unknown origin are evident under the light sod and mosses to NNE.
