Ballinkillin Rock Art, Co. Carlow.

Originally found in a nearby field, the stone now forms part of a roadside wall near the entrance of a house, making it one of the most accessible pieces of rock art in the country! Four flashes used in this, can you spot them all?

The carvings are much more eroded than first appearances would suggest. The cup marks are still very deep but the lights brought up definite rings around most of them where only one had a clearly defined ring in ambient lighting.
