Rock Art, KILMISSAN

Rock Art in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

Incorporated into a N-facing wall in a farmyard that faces W onto the R702 road from the village of Ballymurphy, which is c. 700m to the SW. A rectangular block of stone (H 0.44m; Wth 0.14m) decorated with two rock art motifs, incorporated into a N-facing wall, formerly built into a shed at the same location. It was originally part of a larger stone and both motifs are truncated where the stone was split. The upper motif (dims. 0.15m x 0.1m), consists of a cup (diam. 0.04m) with two concentric circles with a linear grove extending from the cup outwards towards the split edge of the stone. The lower motif (dims. 0.14m x 0.06m) is similar but only half survives. It was first reported by Michael Fortune.
