What is recorded here

In mountain heath (170m OD), amongst rock scatter, on a gentle NE-facing slope. Good views of Behy river valley to NE with Seefin and Droum Mountains in background. A smooth and fractured sandstone boulder (dims. 1.35m N-S; 1.05m E-W; H 0.15m at W) which is irregular in plan. It has an irregular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 0.75m N-S; 0.5m E-W) which is generally flat. The motifs consist of two similar sized, very faint cup-and-one-ring motifs (dims. 18cm) having a cupmark (diam. 6cm; D 3mm) and ring (Wth 1-1.5cm; D 1-2mm), located within the centre of the decorated surface. A large cup-and-two-ring motif (total dims. 24cm N-S; 33cm E-W) is adjacent to SE, having two sub-circular, almost squared rings. Two cupmarks (average diam. 3.5cm; D 4mm) are located to N and S margins of the decorated surface. A third, tiny cupmark (diam. 1.5cm; D 2-3mm) is located upon a lower step of the decorated surface, to E. There are possible traces of linear grooves across centre of stone. Rock art (KE071-176----) is c. 50m to SW. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 26 January 2018
