Ballyduff () is a village near Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Located on the R551 road between Ballyheigue and Ballybunion on hills above Cashen Bay where the River Feale flows to the sea at the mouth of the River Shannon. History Near Ballyduff at Rattoo, a round tower reaches a height of 29.56m, with a base circumference of 15m. This is the only complete round tower in Kerry, and has been dated to the late 11th century. In the mid-19th century, the tower sat on a raised earth causeway in what was then a swamp. The swamp was drained and the causeway removed in the late 19th century so the fields could be cultivated. On 1 November 1920, in reprisals for the killings and shootings of various RIC constables in the area, the Black and Tans shot a local man (John Houlihan) dead, burned the local creamery to the ground, and then burned seven homes in the Abbeydorney area. Of the area's three great houses, only two are still standing, Rattoo Great House and Bushmount House. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
