Megalithic tomb in Dún Na Manach

Megalithic tomb

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. Niall Kenny, 19th December 2006.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
