River Feale at Finuge Crossing

Finuge (Irish: Fionnúig)[1] is a village near Listowel in County Kerry, Ireland. Finuge is a traditional Irish crossroads village with a shop, a pub, Teach Siamsa and a G.A.A. pitch. Sheehan's Thatched House located at Finuge Cross is regarded as one of the oldest surviving authentic thatched houses in Ireland. Conservation experts estimate it at least 300 years old.

The village's name is derived from Préachán, meaning crow.

Listowel is 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to the north-east, and Tralee is 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the south-west.
