What is recorded here

Drombane in iveragh By. holds a long stone ribbon where cupmarks and ringed cups still press into the rock beneath grazing cattle. The SW end shows the most, but much of the art fades under flat light and new cuts across the surface. A local family first noticed the marks, pulling ancient human patience out from under ordinary pasture life.

Outcropping in pasture, accessible via land used for grazing livestock (sheep, suckling herds of cattle, bullocks and bulls), the extent at NE (c.110m OD) c.110m from the extent at SW (c.100m OD), portions of which as well as one loose boulder are inscribed with cupmarks and cup-and-ring variations. The carvings are most readily visible at the SW extent, much of the rest of the rock art too faint to see in flat light, machine lacerations crossing the decorated surfaces along its length. This rock art was initially identified by the family of the land owner. Compiled by: Aoibheann Lambe Date of upload/revision: 8 March 2022
