• WI018-049 Rock art (present location)
  Description

  Found during ploughing c. 1.8m to the SW in Baltynanima and moved here in the mid 1980's (see W1018-036---- for original location record). An irregular shaped schist boulder (L 1.3m; Wth 0.9m; T 0.5m) with 16 cup marks and the remains of another where the corner of the boulder appears to have come away. The four largest cups (diams. 10-12cm; D c. 6cm) are enclosed by circles (max ext. diam. 20cm) formed by incised lines (Wth 1.5-2cm; D 1cm) with the exception of one which has only a semi circle incised line around it. The remaining 13 cups have diameters of 6-8cm and depths of 4-5cm. There are also 3 incised linear grooves (L 14- 22cm; Wth 4cm; D 2.5-3.5cm) visible on the stones surface. Described, photographed and drawn by Price on the 29th January 1933 (Corlett & Weaver 2002, vol. 1, 185). Price also noted (ibid. p. 185) 'A hundred yards or so to SE in the next field to cup-and-circle stone [is] a flat flag, with a lot of small cups on it [measures 3ft long x 21/2ft wide]. Another, a granite boulder, with six or more small pits, E of cup-and-circle stone, and about 150-200yds from it. Another, mica schist, a 'flag' covered with medium sized and small pits, 200yds or so to S of cup-and-circle stone.' None of the latter three stones have yet been located (Corlett 2005, 24).

The façade is finished in painted render and painted roughcast, with moulded quoins and a string course. The hipped roof is slated and has an overhang and rendered chimneystacks. The entrance consists of a panelled timber door and semi-circular fanlight with geometric tracery, all encased by a moulded surround with keystone. The windows are flat-headed with replacement uPVC frames to most of those on the ground floor and timber sash frames (both two over two and tripartite) to those on the first floor. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The parochial house is surrounded by a large garden.

• Catholic Church of Saint Laurence O'Toole, church/chapel, 1865–1875 · Regional interest
  Description

  Detached multiple-bay single-storey gable-ended Gothic style Catholic church, built 1867-71. The building is basically rectangular in plan with the nave flanked by lean-to side aisles with a small gabled porch projection to both the north and south, and, also to the south, a small vestry projection. The walls are constructed in rock-faced granite with dressed granite to the openings, bracketed eaves and moulded drip stones; there are clasping (reducing) buttresses and the front gable rises to a bellcote. The pitched roof of the nave is slated and has crested ridge tiles and stone parapets. The pitched roofs of the side aisles and porches are also slated, as is the hipped roof of the vestry, which also has a tall granite chimneystack. The entrance lies within a shallow gabled bay and consists of a pointed-arch headed timber double door set in a moulded reveal with short three-quarter marble colonette jams with floral capitals. The windows are mainly pointed arch-headed with stained glass (and stone tracery to some), however there is a clerestory of roundel windows to both the north and south sides of the nave. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The church is surrounded by relatively restricted grounds and faces onto Roundwood’s main street.
