KILFINURA, a village, in the parish of BALLYNAHAGLISH,
barony of TRUGHENACKMY, county of KERRY,
and province of MUNSTER, 5 miles (W.) from Tralee, on
the bay of that name; containing about 30 houses and
154 inhabitants. A fishery is carried on here, which is
gradually increasing: about fifteen large boats employed
in it are also engaged in conveying corn and other produce
from Blennerville to this place, and merchandise
from the larger vessels up the shallow part of the bay
to Tralee. Several pilots reside in the village, which is
a station of the coast-guard, removed from Barra harbour.
In the vicinity is a quarry, producing large
blocks of fine limestone, raised with very little blasting,
and used in the construction of the Tralee ship canal
now in progress. A regatta is generally held in the bay
about the month of August.
