## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- WI018-053: Rock art (present location), https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI018-053----. It consists of an uprooted granite boulder, to the rear of a derelict farmhouse. The fields here have been cleared and improved in relatively recent years and it is likely that the boulder was moved to its present position from a location nearby, most likely from the north where the ground rises. The location comprises a south facing slope of a ridge. To the east there is a view of the Ballyduff Pass, whereas the views of the mountains to the south and southwest are blocked by the mature trees that surround the adjacent farmhouse. This large boulder measures 1.9m x 1.6m (max) across, and 1.3m high. It is clear that this was originally an earthfast boulder whereby the majority of the stone was buried below the surface. One end of the top surface of the stone is undecorated, which may indicate that this portion of the stone never protruded above the ground surface. Instead, the decoration is concentrated on the remaining two-thirds of the upper surface and comprises a dense collection of at least 40 shallow cup marks averaging 3cm to 4cm across. Many of the cups appear to be arranged in pairs and in one or two instances are conjoined. Roughly central within decorated area is a shallow borehole, which may indicate an abortive attempt to split the stone in modern times. The cup marks have been quite significantly weathered, but there are no obvious traces of rings that once enclosed any of the cup marks, and given the density of the decoration, it is possible that none of the cup marks were originally enclosed. At corner is a triangular formation of quartz veins, and within the triangular space appear to be traces of 5 cup marks and a short groove.

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.
