Rock Art, KEALDUFF UPPER

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

In mountain heath (178m OD), amongst rock scatter, on a gentle NE-facing slope. Good views of Behy river valley to NE with Seefin and Droum Mountains in background. A smooth and fractured sandstone boulder (dims. 1m N-S; 0.65m E-W; H 0.25m at W) which is subrectangular in plan. It has an irregular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 0.6m N-S; 0.45m E-W) with a S-facing aspect. The motifs consist of four cupmarks which are in reasonably good condition and easily recognisable despite numerous natural solution and pockmarks upon surface. Two of the cupmarks (max. dims. 7 x 8cm; D 6mm) are large and the remaining two cupmarks (diam. 4cm; D 8mm) are slightly smaller. Rock art (KE071-175----) is c. 20m to SE.
