What is recorded here

In cutaway bog and blanket peat, on a WNW-facing slope (157m OD), overlooking Lough Naparka to NW, Behy River valley to N and overlooked by Kealduff Cliff to S. A very rough and fractured sandstone rock outcrop (dims. 1.00m NE-SW; 1.70m NW-SE; max. H 0.36m) with an irregular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 0.47m NE-SW; 0.15m NW-SE) which is N-facing. The rock art is very weathered and faint, confined to NW-end of stone. The motifs consist of a circular area (diam. 8cm) defined by a faint ringmark (Wth 5mm; D 3mm) in NW corner of decorated surface. A linear groove (long-axis NNE-SSW) extends (dims. L 25cm NNE-SSW; Wth 2cm; D 5mm) across surface, c. 16cm to SSW; this may be a natural fracture that has been reused as a rock art motif. Field fences close to E and W. Trackway is c. 50m to N.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this rock art may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to landscape features such as the nearby lough and river valley. No specific folklore is recorded for the site.
