About 18m N of the original location of KE053-054----, Orpen (1908, 12-3) noted a single cup-and-circle on the corner of a rock. This has apparently been broken up for use as road-metal (local information). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 187. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 May 2013 In improved pasture (85m OD), on generally level ground, at base of a very gentle NNW-facing slope. Reasonable views W->N->NE and higher ground further to S, where there is a distinctive crag. Located approximately 18m to N of the original location of rock art (KE053-054----), Orpen (1908, 12-3) noted a single cup-and-circle on the corner of a rock. This has apparently been broken up for use as road-metal (local information). The precise original location of rock art (KE053-054----) is unknown, so it is not possible to pinpoint exactly where rock art (KE053-089----) would have been in relation to it, although they are assumed to have been in the same field.
