Derrynane, officially Darrynane (Irish: Doire Fhíonáin, 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.
Around Derrynane, sites dating from 2000 BC, are associated with the Beaker people who were mining for copper in the area.
[3] Staigue Fort, one of Ireland's finest examples of an ancient ringfort, is located approximately 7 kilometers east from Derrynane.
There are sightseeing trips to the Skellig Islands from Bunavalla daily during the summer season (weather dependent).
