There are two passes in the highlands of Kerry linking the north of the peninsula with the south, through the mountains. One is Bealach Beama, the other Bealach Oisin. Bealach Beama will bring you to Waterville and Bealach Oisin brings you to Cahersiveen or Waterville. Rock Art can be found dotted around the landscape. There is evidence of a “Cillin”, (primarily used for the burial of unbaptised children), which is located among the rock art. A “cillin” is usually marked by little more than an area of uncultivated stony ground raised above the general surroundings.
