Kilgarvan,Co.Kerry, was one of the small villages to served by the GSWR's branch line from Headford Jnc, on the Tralee line, to the town of Kenmare, which opened in 1893. Never a profitable line, the Kenmare branch closed to all traffic in Jan 1959, the tracks been lifted the following year. The station at Kilgarvan, was the last one before Kenmare. Today, it appears to have been demolished but the adjacent station masters house, built of brick and similar to other GSWR branch line ones survives, complete with corrugated iron railway shed. The levelcrossing adjacent to the station site still retains its concrete gate posts.
