Rock art (present location) in Drummin (ballinacor North By.)

The stone, which is not in its original location, is on a gentle N-facing slope on the S edge of a steep stream valley leading E down a marked slope to Lough Dan. Large, previously earthfast, boulder (dims. 2.3m x 1.6m; T 0.6-1.1m) with smooth curved upper surface, part of which is decorated with concentric circles, circles, radial lines and cupmarks, covering an area 1.4m x 0.7m. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. See attached screenshots of 3D model of rock art created by Wicklow Rock Art Project, School of Archaeology, University College Dublin under the direction of Dr. Clíodhna Ní Lionáin.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this rock art may have had ritual or territorial significance, possibly linked to water and landscape features common in prehistoric symbolic practice. Its displacement from the original site may have disrupted its traditional or ceremonial context.
