Moll's Gap, on the Ring of Kerry driving route, offers the most spectacular views of the MacGillycuddy Reeks mountain range. The rocks at Molls Gap are formed of old red sandstone, which are small quartz grains laid down over 350 million years ago. Moll's Gap is named after Moll Kissane, who ran a shebeen (unlicensed public house) in the 1820's, while the road was under construction. Moll's Gap is an example of a glacial breach where a 500 metres deep glacier in the Black Valley broke through Moll's Gap 25,000 years ago during Ireland’s last Ice Age. It has an elevation of 260 meters.
