Lixnaw (Irish: Leic Snámha, meaning 'swimming flagstone')[2] is a village in North County Kerry, Ireland.

It was subsequently retaken by Lord Kerry who entrusted its defence to his brother Gerald, who was eventually forced to surrender the castle due to a shortage of water.

[citation needed] Lixnaw is situated near the River Brick over which there were originally two stone bridges, from which the village got its name.

[citation needed] Erected to honour the Irish soldiers who died in the Korean War.

A total of twenty-nine Irishmen died while serving under conscription in the US Army under the banner of the UN from 1950 to 1953.
