Saturday, 15th September 2007

This is a great panel of rock art. It is a massive block of stone with an east facing slope on which the motifs occur. Unusually, the motifs are only along the southern edge of the face.

There are seven cup-and-rings and some scattered pecking. At the east (lower) end of the group there is a single cup-and-ring. At the west end there is a group of three cup-and-rings. The others are spread out along the edge of the stone.

Another panel next to the main one has a single cup-and-ring set almost centrally, but my photos of this didn't turn out.

Like many of the panels in Derrynablaha, these two either face towards or away from the mountain pass to the east.
