Rock art in Corstown (fore By.)

Rock art

What is recorded here

This erratic is on the NW-facing slope of Carnbane East and its upper surface (dims 3m x 1.3m) slopes up to the S. Its single motif of four concentric but incomplete circles, and a fragment of a fifth outermost circle, has been fully recorded by Shee Twohig (et al. 2010, 11, fig. 6). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 6 March, 2017
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the concentric circles may represent symbolic or ritual designs, possibly linked to celestial observation or territorial markers. Similar motifs appear in other Irish rock art and are often associated with spiritual or ceremonial significance.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
