What is recorded here

Kealduff Upper holds two conjoined cup-and-ring motifs carved into a low rock buried beneath cutaway bog. The marks sit beside a line of picking, all faint enough to vanish when wet or overlooked in haste. From this small panel, Loch Naparka and the Glenbeigh Horseshoe appear across open water, suggesting the carrier chose a place where stone, sky and distance met.

A low-lying rock (3.4m N/S, 2.8m E/W ) portions only of which are exposed with an irregular shaped uneven surface in cutaway bog, the rock art faint and barely detectable. A portion of a line of picking is located centrally on the rock, two conjoined cup-and-ring motifs (diameters c.12cm) at the NE extent of the exposed surface. Other rock art on the exposed surface is very faint. Views are afforded from the panel to Loch Naparka to W, the mountains of the Glenbeigh Horseshoe (clockwise) from NE to NW, Dingle bay visible between the Curra Hills and Seefin to NE.
