What is recorded here

In blanket bog, on a gentle NE-facing slope (94m OD); Kealduff River c. 10m to NE and forestry further to S. A slightly rough and fractured sandstone boulder (dims. 1.00m N-S; 1.30m E-W; max. H 1.04m at E) with an irregular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 10cm N-S; 10cm E-W) which has a W-facing aspect. The rock art is well-defined and consists of several small, yet perfectly formed, identical pickmarks (diam. 7-8mm; D 2mm) occupying NW corner of stone. It is possible that this example of rock art may form a map of the massive glacial erratics deposited in this vicinity. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 27 March 2017
