Doonshean
Doonshean or Doonsheane ( or "Dún Séann") is a townland in western County Kerry in Ireland. It is located about 3.8 km east from the neighbouring town of Dingle. The area gets its name from the nearby Doonmore fort, with "dún" (fort) transliterated to doon, and "síon" deriving from the word "síneadh" meaning a stretch of land. The promontory fort is accessible by walking through the fields. There are also a number of other ring forts, enclosures and related archaeological sites in the area. Dún Síon's beach has views of the village Kinnard in the neighbouring parish of Lispole . The "Siorrach", meaning "foal", is a sea stack which can be seen from the beach and is said to resemble a foal. The "Trá Bheag", meaning "small beach", runs along the beach until it meets the sea. Notable people. The sports commentator Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh was born in Dún Síon, and wrote a book titled "From Dún Síon to Croke Park".
