Knocknadobar

Knocknadobar (Irish: Cnoc na dTobar, meaning "mountain of the wells") is one of the main mountains of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. It lies northeast of Cahersiveen, just north of the N70 road, on the coast of Dingle Bay. It is 690 m (2,264 ft) in height. Its name means "mountain of the wells" and is thought to refer to the four small lakes on its slopes.

Knocknadobar is famous for its "stations of the cross" on the path to the summit and an altar at the top where mass is said yearly. A cross beside the altar was erected in June 1884.
