Rock Art, LETTER WEST

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

A picked line, the visible portion of which is 0.54m long, extends NE/SW across the E portion of a a low lying outcrop or earthfast boulder in wet boggy pasture, the rock being waterlogged at SW. Roughly triangular in plan, its sides measure c. 1m in length. The line fades to single pickmarks (diam. 3–10mm) towards NE until it is no longer traceable where it meets a crack in the rock’s upper surface. At the SW end of the line, it is widest where it meets the water and is no longer traceable beneath the water’s surface. Apart from the picked line, there is a series of shallow grooves which may be naturally formed on the rock’s surface. In aerial view, the panel appears to be within a possible circular feature having a max. diam. of 22m. No such feature is recognizable at ground level.
