Panel of rock art identified and described by Aoibheann Lambe as; ‘A loose roughly tent-shaped sandstone boulder (its uppermost ridge 0.65m long) whose heavily inscribed face only recently become exposed when the boulder became dislodged from a wall. The boulder is currently placed upon a pile of stone rubble. Its most decorated face is S facing in its present position. The decorated surface has not been exposed to the elements in living memory and is devoid of lichen. It is a pale pink colour punctuated in parts by fine pink lines and has a thin coating of quartz. The rock art which is readily visible consists of two large cup-and-ring motifs each of which is conjoined by radial grooves with a smaller cup-and-ring mark; an isolated cupmark; two further cup-and-ring marks, a groove; and a large hollow which appears to be truncated where the boulder may have been broken in the distant past. Lines of picking continue beyond the boulder’s S face to the boulder’s N facing side and possibly also to its side at W’. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Aoibheann Lambe

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
