Description
In rough hill pasture, on the SE-facing slope of Cummeenbaun Mountain. A large upright slab (c. 8m x c. 5m x c. 1m) leans against a large roughly cuboid-shaped boulder (L c. 12m E-W; Wth c. 4m N-S; H c. 3m) forming a shelter that can be entered from either the E or W sides. The relatively smooth vertical N face of the boulder is inscribed with clusters of straight lines, which extend from 0.3 to 2.2m above ground level and cover an area 5.8m x 1.9m. Most of the inscribed lines (L 0.04-0.15m) are vertical and are frequently grouped by horizontal or diagonal lines scored across them. The inscriptions are too numerous to count and appear to have been created with V-shaped tools to depths of 1-4mm. This is known locally as 'Pluais na Scríob' (the cave of the inscribing).
