- KE090-041: Rock art, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE090-041----. Located on a peat-covered ridge in low-lying land, approximately 170m W of the Small river and near its confluence with the Sneem river, this dramatic section of rock outcrop extends NE-SW for a distance of 18.5m. Its NW side rises almost vertically to a height of .9m, but its 3m wide upper surface slopes gently down to the SE, where it runs beneath a .5m thick deposit of peat. The exposed surface is smooth, though fissured, and is decorated with a series of very large, weathered motifs for almost its entire length; some of these continue beneath the peat on its SE side. One cupmark is enclosed by four concentric rings, the outermost of which has a maximum diameter of 1.5m, making it the largest rock art motif on record from the Iveragh Peninsula; it features two external grooves, which extend downslope. The remainder of the cupmarks are enclosed by one to five rings, some of them gapped, and most of them tending towards a square shape. A number of the outer rings feature one or two short, external grooves which extend from the SE side of each motif. This is the largest recorded rock art surface from the Iveragh Peninsula. See attached drawing of rock art taken from O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, Fig. 69 The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 356. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. In mountain heath (49m OD), on a SSE-facing slope, having abundant rock outcrop (long-axis NW-SE); Overlooking coniferous forestry plantation and valley of the Small river to S; higher ground NW->NE. A slightly rough and fractured sandstone rock (long-axis NE-SW) (dims. 18m N-S; 2.40m E-W; max. H 0.64m at W) having a subrectangular decorated surface (dims. 9.85m NE-SW; 2.40m NW-SE) which has natural striations (long-axis E-W). The decorated surface of this rock outcrop has a gentle E-facing aspect and the southern end of the stone surface is flat. According to O’Sullivan & Sheehan (1996, 105), this is the largest recorded rock art surface on the Iveragh Peninsula. All motifs are picked and include a square-plan cup-and-five-ring motif (overall dims. 60cm N-S; 55cm E-W; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 1-2mm; cup diam. 4cm; D 5mm) at NE end of decorated surface; A deep fracture (dims. L 38cm x 5cm; max. D 29mm) is abutting to S. A cupmark (diam. 5cm; D 4mm) to SE is enclosed by an L-shaped groove (dims. 28cm NW-SE; 13cm NE-SW; Wth 1.5cm). A cup-and-two-ring motif (overall diam. 0.75cm; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 2mm; cup diam. 5cm; D 6mm) is located to SE. The outer ring is square in plan and a short linear groove extends from it at E and continues under the sod. A two-cup-and-three-ring motif (overall dims. 39cm N-S; 56cm E-W; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 1-2mm; cup diam. 4cm; D 5-6mm) is adjacent to W. The two outer rings are squared in plan and the outermost is open at NNW. There are four cupmarks depicted within interior of this motif by O’Sullivan & Sheehan (1996, 105; Fig. 69), however only two of these are now visible due to weathering. A cup-and-three-ring motif (overall dims. 94cm N-S; 92cm E-W; ring Wth 2cm; D 3mm; cup diam. 5cm; D 5mm) is close to S. The outer ring is squared in plan and two short, parallel grooves extend from it at E; A curvilinear motif is located 13cm to NE. A very large cup-and-four-ring motif (dims. 1.35cm N-S; 1.38cm E-W; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 1-2mm; cup diam. 6cm; D 9mm) is further to SE. A square-plan cup-and-four-ring motif (overall dims. 52cm N-S; 57cm E-W; ring Wth 2cm; D 2mm; cup diam. 6cm; D 4mm) is located close to SE and is difficult to decipher due to weathering. A very weathered cup-and-two-ring motif (overall dims. 1.12m NW-SE; ring Wth 1.5cm; D 2mm; cup diam. 4cm; D 4mm) at SE end of decorated surface, extends under the sod at E. A field fence is c. 27m to W. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 6 July 2017

In mountain heath and area of rock outcrop (46m OD), on an E-facing slope, on W side of Small river valley; A coniferous plantation is c. 12m to E. Moderate views N->E->SW and overlooked by higher ground to W->NW. A very rough and fractured sandstone (dims. 13m NE-SW; 1.86m NW-SE; max. H 0.98m at N) which is subrectangular in plan. Stone rises to a distinct knob of rock (H 0.98m) covered by heather and mollinia at W and continues under peat to NW side. The decorated surface (dims. 0.10m N-S; 0.10m E-W) has an ENE-facing aspect with deep striations and fractures (long-axis ENE-WSW) and a single cupmark (diam. 9cm; D 20mm).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
