Ardfert

Small town in County Kerry, Republic of Ireland, 10 km/6 mi northwest of Tralee; population (2002) 900. Ardfert was first established as a missionary site in the 5th century; its ruined cathedral was constructed in the 13th century, and is now a national monument.

There is a stone inscribed in the Celtic ogham alphabet in the graveyard. Nearby are the ruins of the Franciscan Ardfert friary; 2 km/1 mi west of Ardfert is Casement's Fort, an earthen fort where the nationalist Roger Casement was arrested in 1916 after supplying arms for the Easter Rising.

Ardfert was a former see of the bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe, now incorporated into the diocese of Kerry.
