Lisnaskea history

---

The name Lisnaskea comes from Lios na Scéithe meaning “fort of the shield” North of the village, in the townland of Cornashee, is a large burial mound within a round enclosure. This is believed to be Sciath Ghabhra (Skeagoura), the coronation place of the Maguires, who were kings and chiefs of Fermanagh. Nearby is another ringfort known as Lios Uí Néill (Lisoneill)

The Troubles

Suspected dissident republicans fired shots at Lisnaskea PSNI station in December 2013. There were no casualties from the incident.

The Workhouse

Lisnaskea Poor Law Union was formally declared on 27 June 1840, and in August Sir Arthur Brooke was elected Chairman. The workhouse was built (at a total cost of over £6,400) on a six-acre site. During the early 1920s, during the Troubles of that time, it was used to house soldiers of the Royal Hampshire Regiment.
