Location of Dyrnæs in the Eastern Settlement.

Dyrnæs was a Norse settlement in Eastern Settlement in Greenland. It was located to the north of modern-day Narsaq.

History

According to Ívar Bárðarson, Dyrnæs was one of the largest parishes in Norse Greenland. It consisted of a church and several farms, and probably covered the entire western part of the Narsaq peninsula.[1] The ruins of the church were discovered during an archaeological dig in 1932.[1]
