Description
Situated in rough pasture to the NW of Am Baile Mor, Kilmichael Glassary, there are two groups of cup-and-ring markings.
The photo shows the rock outcrop which lies a short distance NW of the public road and is surrounded, in part, by iron railings. Within the fence the rock-face dips to the SE and two parallel terraces are profusely decorated with cups, rings and other motifs. Of particular note are four cups with keyhole-like rings, which occur on both the upper and the lower terraces, and three oval marks which lie on the W side of the lower terrace.
About 60m NNE, there is a second cup-and-ring marked outcrop. This also is heavily decorated.
