Inch, County Kerry
Inch (Irish: Inse, meaning 'river meadow')[1] is a small coastal settlement and townland on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. Inch Strand, in Inch townland,[2] is on a long sand spit and dune system which reaches into Dingle Bay.[3] The R561 regional road passes through the area.
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of midden, ringfort and ecclesiastical enclosure sites in Inch and Inch East townlands.[4] The graveyard enclosure, in Inch East, contains a ruined single-cell church which dates to at least the 13th century.[4][5]
Inch Strand, also known as Inch Beach, is a spit which is 5 km in length and, together with its dune system, forms part of the Special Area of Conservation at Castlemaine Harbour.[6][7]
