Gneeveguilla, (/ɡniːvˈɡʊɪlə/ g-NEEV-guilla), officially Gneevgullia (Irish: Gníomh go Leith),[2] is a small village in the Sliabh Luachra region of East County Kerry, Ireland.
Gneeveguilla is situated in a region of hills and valleys and serves a rural hinterland consisting of dairy farms, pastureland and peatland.
[citation needed] Townlands in the area include Coom (Lower and Upper), Bawnard, Gullaun, Mausrower and Lisheen.
[3] At Mausrower, there used to be a large quarry in the early part of the 20th century, the remnants of which can be seen today on the approach from the Killarney direction towards Lower Coom.
[4] On the night of Sunday 28 December 1896, after a prolonged period of bad weather, sleeping families were awakened by an unusual sound.
They then went on to win the Munster Championship and lost the All-Ireland semi-final to St. James of County Galway, after a period of extra time.
