Locals plan to rebuild 50ft monument near Kerry village

A full scale model of one of North Kerry's most historic monuments, which was destroyed more than 60 years ago by Kerry County Council, is to be constructed near the village of Lixnaw.

A 50ft high mausoleum made of black limestone was erected in 1690 by the 20th Lord of Kerry, William Fitzmaurice, at a burial site for the Fitzmaurice clan members.
