• WI018-006 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope on the edge of Vartry Reservoir. Circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) hachured on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008

• WI018-044 Bullaun stone
  Description

  An oblong granite boulder (0.56m x 0.52m; H 0.25m) with a centrally placed bowl-shaped basin (diam. 0.27m x 0.25m; D 0.1m). Believed to have been brought here from Knockatemple church (WI018-007001-) in the late 19th century Compiled by: Chris Corlett and Claire Breen Date of upload: 14 February 2013

• WI018-054 Rock art (present location)
  Description

  This granite boulder was dug up during the construction of a house around 2008 and was retained as a garden feature adjacent to the entrance gate. This is a relatively level site, whereby the views are presently obstructed by vegetation and buildings, but formerly there would have been a commanding view of Djouce to the north. The granite boulder measures 1.7m x 1.32m across and stands 75cm high. Given the presence of plough marks along two edges of the stone it is clear that it was formerly an earthfast boulder, whereby the decorated face was situated relatively close to the surface. The decorated surface is slightly domed and features a vein of quartz extending diagonally across the top. The surface is also very weathered so that the decoration is quite poorly preserved. There are five large cupmarks ranging from 4cm to 6cm across and 1.5cm deep. There are faint traces of circles enclosing at least three of these larger cupmarks. There are also traces of 12 smaller and shallower cup marks. WI018-054----_01.jpg and WI018-054----_02.jpg show the rock art on the boulder (Photographs: Christiaan Corlett).

  Description

  Three-arch road bridge, set within a long causeway spanning the Lower Vartry Reservoir, constructed c.1868. The bridge is in rock-faced granite and has three segmental arches. Both parapets have dressed granite coping with square piers with pyramidal caps to the west end of each. The causeway itself is battered and has rubble-built parapets with rough rounded coping. There are gateways to each side at either end of the causeway, each with wrought-iron gates and piers similar to the bridge.
