Rock art (present location) in Clogher

This stone stands in the garden of a house at the eastern extremity of the townland of Clogher. It has been described by O’Reilly (2010, 79-80) as follows: ‘In 1998 Jim Higgins reported a further rock art discovery from Corbrack townland, Tang. This stone, standing at approximately 1.7m in height and 1.69m in maximum width, is one of a pair of sandstone boulders that had been moved from their original position beside the road some years before. The decoration on the stone consists of thirty or more circular and oval cup-marks as well as at least two ringed cup-marks and a series of artificial grooves. About half way up the left-hand side of the stone is a particularly deep cup-mark measuring 13cm in diameter and approximately 8cm deep. This hollow has a ring pecked into the stone about 3cm from its edge enclosing the cup-mark The second of the two stones has no rock art discernible, although it is possible that some exists on the surfaces that are no longer visible since the stone was moved.’ Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 30 August 2013
