and is approximately 1 to 0.5 cm deep. If this figure indeed is a
prehistoric engraving, representing an axe, it is almost unique in
Galician rock art.
Group 17. One small cupmark surrounded by a faint single ring is
carved on a large smooth outcrop on ground level.
Group 18. A fairly big and distinct cupmark is carved on a very large
outcrop on ground level. It is surrounded by at least two concentric
rings and possibly a few more. All ringmarks are very much weathered.
Group 19. On an irregular outcrop are carved two Latin crosses of
small dimensions, three horse-shoe shaped grooves and three
rectangular motifs that are connected to each other.
Group 20. On this outcrop is a very small cupmark surrounded by two
possibly gapped ringmarks and possibly also a radial groove.
Group 21. Possibly up to seven single cupmarks, much weathered,
appear on this outcrop on ground level.
Group 22. One possible single cupmark on this outcrop on ground level.
Group 23. One certain single cupmark on this outcrop on ground level.
Group 24. One certain cupmark and a possible groove on this outcrop on
ground level.
Group 25. One possible cupmark on this outcrop on ground level.
Group 26. One certain single cupmark on this outcrop on ground level.
Group 27. A number of Latin crosses and grooves without pattern on
this outcrop rock. All much weathered.
Group 28. Only two metres to the SE of Group 27 is a small outcrop
almost overgrown by gorse. It has a fairly large Latin cross set in a
frame with rounded corners. All pockmarks are clearly visible.
Group 29. A small rectangular block of stone projecting from the
ground features a number of very small cupmarks all clustered in a
small saddle-like depression of the stone. Doubtful.
Group 30. This outcrop on ground level shows the very faint remains of
a small cup surrounded by a single ring.
ZONE B
Group 14. Described by COSTAS GOBERNA, NOVOA ALVAREZ and
ALBO MORAN (1991), not visited on this occasion.
ZONE C
Group 31. At the SW edge of a relatively flat area of land which
projects to the south like a tongue, a short distance NE of the steeper
slope, is a long pillow shaped outcrop among many other outcrops and
boulders. On its smooth and horizontal upper surface is carved is very
small cupmark surrounded by five concentric rings about half a metre
in diameter. The outer rings have been engraved much deeper and
broader than the inner rings. There are traces of a radial groove
