Rock art in Loch An Dúin

Rock art

What is recorded here

Rock art in Loch An Dúin, County Kerry, Ireland. Two further decorated rock surfaces are known nearby. Their precise location has not been recorded. The lake keeps more than one stone diary, but the diary pages refuse to show themselves.
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 have held ritual or symbolic significance, possibly linked to landscape features or water-associated beliefs common in prehistoric Scotland.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
