Paiute Rock Marker #9 (missing) |
Overview
The Mt. Irish Archeological District is a large area with many boulder piles and low bands of cliffs covered with petroglyphs. Paiute Rock is one of the major public petroglyph sites in the district and consists of one, isolated boulder pile. Native peoples etched an extensive array of nice petroglyphs into the rocks. The BLM placed nine numbered markers around the site, and the BLM and Lincoln County each produced brochures describing the numbered petroglyph panels.
Presented here are details of Site 9, which includes a long, amphitheater-like wall and adjacent boulders. Marker #9 is missing.
From the far end of the amphitheater, the trail continues east to Site 1.
