The ringfort referred to at Leacanabuaile, Kimego West, Kerry is in private ownership. It is in the Guardianship of Commissioners of Public Works which is responsible for maintaining the National Monument. The Leacanabuaile site is generally accessed on foot from a small car-park which is provided by the OPW to serve the nearby (State-owned) Cahergal Stone Fort and visitors are explicitly encouraged to use this route to visit Leacanabuaile. Funds are made available to the Commissioners for the maintenance and conservation of National Monuments and the provision of facilities for visitors and it is not appropriate to allocate funds for the purposes suggested.
