Rock Art, DRANAGH

Rock art (present location) in Ireland, dating from the Bronze Age

A granite stone (L 0.8m; Wth 0.7m; T 0.4m) situated alongside a dry-stone field fence from which it had fallen in 2008. Good views W towards Mount Brandon and Mount Leinster to the N. It appears that the decorated surface was facing into the field fence and was not previously visible. The decoration consists of four cup marks (diam 4.5-5cm; D 1cm) and rings that form a cluster at one end of the stone. From one of the cup marks a short line extends out towards the outer ring (diam. 20cm). This circle conjoins the other three cup and ring motifs. The largest motif consists of a cup enclosed by a ring (diam. 16cm) which in turn is enclosed by an outer half ring (diam. 30cm). The original location is not known.
