What is recorded here
Rock art in Glebe (iveragh By.) is a smooth flagstone in mountain heath, marked by two parallel grooves and one small cupmark. It sits beside a drystone wall, facing the Carhar River valley, where human hands may have shaped stone long before written memory. The grooves undulate like water, inviting wonder rather than certainty.
In mountain heath (155m OD), on a SW-facing slope. Excellent views of Cahersiveen to W and Carhar River valley below to W and SW. On the S side of a drystone field wall (long-axis E-W). A smooth and fractured flagstone (dims. 2.00m NE-SW; 1.82m NW-SE; max. T 0.35m) which is sub-oval in plan. The decorated surface (dims. 0.10m N-S; 0.10m E-W) has a W-facing aspect and bears deep, weathered fissures and natural striations (long-axis NE-SW) across its surface. Two deep, wide, parallel (long-axis NW-SE) shallow grooves (Wth 13-14cm; D 3cm) upon this stone form an undulating, wavy appearance. A single cupmark (diam. 5cm; D 4mm) is located at SE edge of stone. This stone is 1m above ground level on SE side and 0.62m above ground level on SW side.
