Lisnaskea (from Irish Lios na Scéithe, meaning 'fort of the shield')[1] is the second-biggest settlement in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is situated mainly in the townland of Lisoneill, with some areas in the townland of Castle Balfour Demesne, both in the civil parish of Aghalurcher and the historic barony of Magherastephana.[1] It had a population of 3,020 people at the 2021 Census.[2]
The nearby monument of Sciath Ghabhra is where the Maguires were crowned as kings and chiefs of Fermanagh. The town developed after the Plantation of Ulster and is built around the long main street. At the middle, the old market place, formerly known as The Diamond, contains a high cross (grid ref:H364340)[3] from an early monastery. 19th century buildings include the former market house, corn market and butter market.[4] The Castle Park Leisure Centre is situated just off the main street.[5]
