What is recorded here

Rock art in Loch An Dúin is recorded in County Kerry, Ireland. Two further decorated rock surfaces are known nearby, though their precise location has not been recorded. The lake keeps its stones hidden, waiting for someone careful enough to find them and remember what they show.

In Cuppage (1986, 64), the description for rock art (KE035-076----) makes a reference to Finlay (1973, 17) who ‘notes that two further decorated rock surfaces are known in the immediate vicinity of the lake but their precise location has not been recorded. This reference does not form a description of the rock art or its precise location and is therefore too vague to pin point. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 7 July 2017

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the rock art at Loch An Dúin may represent symbolic or ritual markings, possibly linked to territorial boundaries, spiritual beliefs, or ancestral traditions. No specific folklore is recorded for this site.
