Derrynane, officially Darrynane (Template:Langx, meaning 'oak-wood of Fíonán'),[1] is a small village in the civil parish of Kilcrohane in County Kerry, Ireland. It is located on the Iveragh peninsula, just off the N70 national primary road near Caherdaniel on the shores of Derrynane Bay.
History
A dolmen (or Stone Age passage grave) in the area may date from 3000 BC. Around Derrynane, sites dating from 2000 BC, are associated with the Beaker people who were mining for copper in the area.[2]
Saint Fionan founded a monastery in the area in the 6th century.[2]
In the 18th century, Derrynane harbour became a thriving centre for trade with France and Spain.[2]
