Brosna (Irish: Brosnach)[2] is a village and parish situated in the Sliabh Luachra area of County Kerry, Ireland.
Brosna lies close to the Cork/Kerry and Kerry/Limerick borders, and neighbouring towns include Castleisland and Knocknagoshel in Kerry, Abbeyfeale and Mountcollins in Limerick, and Ballydesmond and Rockchapel in Cork.
[5] The same entry notes that a "large portion of the land consisted of coarse mountain pasture and bog, the greater part of which might be reclaimed".
[5] Lewis also records that the Whiteboys (an agrarian organisation involved in "disturbances" in support of tenant farmer rights) were active in the area in the 1820s.
[7] This church is in gothic revival style, and built with sandstone rubble walls and limestone ashlar dressings.
