parish, also a post and fair town, of Ireland, in the county of Kerry and province of Munster, 131 miles from Dublin, anciently Lis Tuatha, i.e. "the fort of Tuatha," who was exiled in the 11th century, but returned; and his life forms a brilliant era in Irish history. Near this are the ruins of a castle, pleasantly situated on the river Feale; it was taken in November 1600, by Sir Charles Wilmot, being then held out for the Lord Kerry against Queen Elizabeth. Five miles beyond Listowel are the ruins of a church. The fairs are three in the year.

Litana Silva (anc. geog.); a wood of the Boii, in the Gallic Togata, or Cispadana, where the Romans, under L. Posthumius Albinus (whose head the Boii cut off, and carried in triumph into their most sacred temple), had a great defeat, of twenty-five thousand scarce ten escaping (Livy). Hollenius conjectures, that this happened above the springs of the Scultenna, in a part of the Apennine, between Cerinianum and Mutina. Now Selva di Lugo.
