Knockglass More Rock Art, Kerry

Knockglass More

Rock Art

The irregularly shaped boulder at Knockglass More was moved to this location in1997. It was brought to this location from the strand in Killelton townland, on the south-side of Tralee bay. The flat upper surface of the, approximately metre long, boulder is divided in two by a clearly defined ridge. One side of the surface is decorated with at least 36 cup marks, the other side bears at least 9 more. The dividing ridge line is partly natural and some parts appear to be pocked.Because of it's roadside location, with a nearby picnic table, it is probably the easiest piece of rock art we have ever located.
