Rathmore (Irish: An Ráth Mhór, meaning 'big ringfort') is a small town in County Kerry, Ireland, lying immediately west of the border with County Cork. It is divided in two parts, one being the main commercial centre, and the other being the administrative centre where the schools and churches are located which is colloquially known as Rath Beg (Irish: An Ráth Bheag, meaning 'small ringfort'). It lies at the heart of the Sliabh Luachra area known for its traditional Irish music and culture. The local Gaelic Athletic Association club is Rathmore GAA. The SAG (social action group) is in Rathmore and helps the elderly in the area. The town hosts the farmer's market every Saturday in the community centre.
