Cross-inscribed stone in Ballydarrig

This cross-inscribed boulder, not marked on the OS maps, is located on the lower SW slopes of Knocknadobar mountain. Its flat upper surface measures 2.8m x 1.6m and is partially overlain by a field boundary. It features three small incised crosses, a deeply grooved equal-armed cross and an inscribed cross-in-circle. The shaft of this latter motif extends beyond the circle and terminates in a flat base. The boulder is locally referred to as a mass-rock. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 928. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
