What is recorded here
Dún Na Manach holds a small megolithic tomb aligned northwest to southeast, measuring 2.3 metres long and 1.2 metres wide. Built before written history in County Kerry, it marks a time when people shaped stone for death rather than display. Its compact form suggests intimacy, perhaps a family or a single valued person buried with care. The chamber still points across the landscape like a quiet arrow thrown into forgetfulness.
Record was created from information provided by Stephen Clarke. 'The monument seems to be orientated NW-SE and is about 2.3m long and 1.2m wide'. No more information about the monument was given.
