A superb setting easily accessed initially before requiring rock scrambling and hunting on both sides of the road.

1.5 km E of Lough Brin, scattered over a wide area to the E and W of the road through the beautiful Ballaghabeama Gap, and surrounding the only inhabited house (in 1975) for miles, are over 20 decorated rocks.
They are very difficult to find on the rock-strewn hillside, but perhaps the easiest to locate are those for which the grid reference above is given, found by following the S branch of a stream from the bridge about 300 metres S of the abovementioned farmhouse, then up the hillside for about 400 metres. A prominent taqble-like rock a short distanced S (left) of the stream – and visible from the road – is decorated with numerous cups and penannular rings and grooves. beside it is a small rock whose vertical (W) facee is decorated with the rare motif of cups and rings surrounded by a ring of small cups and a large indented ring, similar to those at Ormaig in the Kilmartin Valley of Argyll.
About 200 metres E of thyese, about halfway between them and the second bridge (200 metres SE of the first one) is a low altar-like rock with a curious design of cup-marks and irregular, roughly-circular grooves.
