In 1587 the lands of Gerald FitzGerald which included the 'castle and town of Listroan, otherwise Lystrime, containing one quarter of land worth by the year 66s. 8d.' were granted to Sir Edward Denny (Hickson 1882, 163). Folklore collected from The Spa, Tráighlí (Tralee) recorded the following details about this castle; 'In 1587, Queen Elizabeth gave the following lands to Sir Francis Walshingham, and Edward Denny. The Castle of Listroan (Listrim), late the Erle's' (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0438, Page 317; https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4706322/4702409/4724566?pageNum=317).
