What is recorded here

Eight metres from the main site, a small sandstone ledge hides beneath heath and bog. A single cupmark sits inside a dense ring of pickmarks, barely visible unless someone scratches away the encroaching vegetation. The maker chose a quiet edge where the Behy valley gleams between mountains, perhaps marking a boundary or a memory no longer spoken.

In mountain heath and cutaway bog (166m OD), on a gentle NE-facing slope, c. 8m to NNE of rock art site (KE071-172----). Good views of Behy river valley to NE with Seefin and Droum Mountains in background. A slightly rough and fractured, sandstone rock outcrop (dims. 0.58m N-S; 0.2m E-W) which is subrectangular in plan and barely protruding (H 0.06m) above the present ground level. It has an irregular-shaped decorated surface (dims. 0.35m N-S; 0.15m E-W) with a WSW-facing aspect. The motifs are subtle due to being located upon a small, inconspicuous area of rock outcrop with vegetation encroaching from all sides. The decorative elements consist of a single motif (total diam. 15cm) having a cupmark (diam. 4.5cm; D 5mm) enclosed by a wide, dense ring of pickmarks (total Wth 4cm; D 2mm). There are also random pickmarks in the vicinity, to N and SE. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 26 January 2018
