The fieldwork presented here uses a landscape approach to analyse the geographical location of rock art in relation to viewpoints, marginal land and routeways. A detailed study of rock art within its landscape can shed light on the lives of prehistoric people and the ways in which they used the land. In this study, the rock art of the Dingle peninsula in south—west Ireland is analysed, and the fieldwork suggests that routeways and waterways, in particular sea routes, were important factors in the placing of rock art. It also provides new perspectives into methods of landscape research
