The rock carvings of Milltown ( Irish Baile an Mhuilinn ) are about 20 meters east of Milestone House, north of the R559, a mile west of Dingle in County Kerry , Ireland .

East of the 2.8 m high menhir Gallán na Cille Brice ( English the Milestone ) standing near the road are two club-shaped stones (a form of cross-slabs , as it is typical on the Dingle Peninsula ). The eastern stone bears rock carvings . There are 18 bowl ( English cups ) and eight cup-and-ring marks on the upper broad surface and a south end. The rock carvings, which also include horizontal grooves, are difficult to see. 50 meters further in the field is the pair of stones "The Gates of Glory" ( Irish Geataí na Glóire ). The fallen or smashed menhirs are about 1.5 m apart. In Killaclohane Wood ( Coill an Chlocháin ) near Milltown, the Mass Rock Poll is located on Aifrinn .
