What is recorded here

Seven metres east of the main chamber, a fractured sandstone slab holds a trapezoidal ring enclosing two cupmarks, one double the size of the other. The markers sit above cutaway bog and face the Behy valley, suggesting people used the rising ground to watch weather or movement across the water. The rough stone resists easy reading, but the deliberate shape and repeated cups remain clear enough to prove the hillside was still marked after the larger chamber was completed.

In mountain heath and cutaway bog (165m OD), on a gentle NE-facing slope, c. 7.5m to E of rock art site (KE071-169----). Good views of Behy river valley to NE with Seefin and Droum Mountains in background. A very rough and fractured, sandstone rock outcrop (dims. 2.75m NW-SE; 1.32m NE-SW; H 0.5m at NE) which is subrectangular in plan. It has an irregular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 1.25m ESE-WNW; 0.55m NNW-SSE) with a N and a S-facing aspect. The decorative elements are very weathered and difficult to decipher due to natural rock striations. The elements upon the S-facing aspect consist of a cup-and-one-ring motif (total dims. 20cm N-S; c. 12cm E-W) having a cupmark (diam. 7cm; D 7mm) and a sub-oval ring (Wth 1.5cm; D 3-4mm) at SE edge of decorated surface; Three cupmarks adjacent to E and a picked linear groove (L 23cm; Wth 1.5cm; D 2-3mm) is c. 2cm to NW; a single cupmark is adjacent to W of groove. A trapezoidal ring (total dims. 17cm NW-SE; 11cm NE-SW) encloses a pair of cupmarks within: small cupmark (diam. 3cm; D 4mm) and large cupmark (diam. 5cm; D 4mm). An isolated cupmark is located at the western end of the decorated surface. An additional cup-and-one ring motif (total dims. 16cm N-S; 12cm E-W) with a possible eroded cupmark was noted (in a different light), upon the N-facing aspect of this stone. Area of sphagnum moss around base of stone at SE. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 26 January 2018
