Kilgobnet (Irish: Cill Ghobnait, meaning 'St. Gobnet's Church')[1] is a townland and electoral division in County Kerry, Ireland.[2] Located near Killorglin,[3] it is overlooked by the MacGillycuddy's Reeks mountain range.[4] Kilgobnet townland, which is in the civil parish of Knockane, has an area of approximately 1.1 square kilometres (0.42 sq mi).[2] It had a population of 45 people as of the 2011 census.[5]
The townland is named for a medieval church, now in ruins,[6] traditionally associated with St. Gobnait.[7][8] Other archaeological sites in the townland include a possible Ogham stone and several standing stone and ring fort sites.[6][8]
The local national (primary) school, Kilgobnet National School, was built in the 1980s to replace an earlier 19th century building.[9] As of 2024, it had an enrollment of 82 pupils.[10]
