Rock art under the heavens, The Plough moved just slightly off frame between setting up the shot and taking it.

The whole stone, elongated a bit by the wide lens. The top part is evidently very weather worn, visibly rougher and eroded compared to the lower section where the main motifs are found.

Main part of panel, very weathered now, you’d walk right past it only its in its own sliver of land jutting into a field.

From a sketch sent to Mr George Tate by Lord Dunrevin in the late 19thC.
It’s described simply as being from Kerry, a convocation of TMA forum wallahs have shown that it is Aghacarrible 1.

Aghacaribble 1

This rock art panel is only a few kms from the village of Lispole, in Co, Kerry. A OS map would be needed.
Its shown on the map as being right next to a T junction. This T junction has a little townland sign for Aghacaribbe (I think), however the rock it is located on is about one field up from this and can be accessed over a gate.
Access to it isnt far from gate, you can see it easily from the gate it is pretty much in the middle of a field with a path going right by it.
Seemingly a field boundary once cut the stone into two parts but this boundary seems to be long gone.
As a newcomer to rock-art I really loved this panel.
