a market-town of Ireland, county of Kerry, on the right bank of the River Feale, about 16 miles N.N.E. from Tralee. The town, which has of late years been much improved, consists of one main street, with several small streets diverging from it. There is also a spacious square containing the ancient dilapidated castle, and the parish church. The other principal buildings are—a fine bridge of five arches spanning the river, an hospital, several schools, a dispensary, and a bridewell. Listowel Castle was the last fortress that held out for Lord Kerry against Queen Elizabeth, and was taken by Sir Charles Wilmot in 1600. Pop. (1851) 3527.
