• CO139-035 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In a small pasture field, in an area overgrown by briars and ferns. The holy well consists of a scatter of stones on the ground and appears to be dry. This is probably the holy well mentioned by O'Donoghue (1986, 11) under the adjoining townland of Meenvane as local enquiries failed to find any evidence of a holy well in that townland. A cupmarked stone (CO139-035001-), containing coins, lies immediately to the S of the well. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO139-079 Rock art
  Description

  On an outcrop of old red sandstone, in the garden beside a dwelling-house, to the N of Skull. The rock surface (6.7m N-S; 3.5m E-W) contains 32 cup and cup-and-circle inscriptions. There are 18 cupmarks and an additional 14 cupmarks with at least one well-defined circle around them. Two of the latter have indications of a second circle. The cupmarks range in diameter (0.05-0.15m) and vary in depth (0.025-0.05m) and the grooves are c. 0.03m in width. The rock surface has deep spalled-out pockets, some of which interfere with the cupmarks. The spalls occur on striation or bedding planes running generally N-S. Pocked lines of solution pits also run the length of the surface in the same general direction and are more pronounced on the sloping E side. (Snodgrass 2000, 56-9) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009 In front garden of private dwelling (68m OD), overlooking Schull Harbour to S. A smooth and fractured sandstone rock outcrop (dims. min. 6.40m NNE-SSW; 2.80m WNW-ESE; max. H 0.50m at E) having numerous natural striations (long-axis N-S), solution marks and pockmarks upon its surface. The decorated surface is level and obscured by grass, mosses, ivy, sod and is becoming overgrown with shrubs encroaching from either end. There are currently three large cupmarks (dims. 8cm x 7cm; D 18mm) and a small cupmark (diam. 4cm; D 2mm) visible upon a small exposed area. According to Byrne, Egan and Ronan et al (2009), the decorated surface bears eighteen cupmarks (diam. 0.05-0.15m; D 0.025-0.05m) and an additional fourteen cupmarks enclosed by at least one well-defined ring (Wth c. 0.03m); Two cupmarks have evidence of a second ring. The natural striations and weathered solution marks interfere with some of the motifs. Pocked lines of solution pits also run the length of the surface in the same general direction and are more pronounced on the sloping E side (Snodgrass 2000, 56-9).
