Lisnarick or Lisnarrick (from Irish Lios na nDaróg, meaning 'fort of the (little) oaks') is a small village in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, 4 km west of Irvinestown. It is situated in the civil parish of Derryvullan and historic barony of Lurg.[1] The village was once known as Archdalestown after the nearby Castle Archdale.[2] In the 2011 Census it had a population of 238.[citation needed]
The village is mostly housing although there is one multi-purpose store, a restaurant, a filling station and a sub-post office. At the middle of the village is a green with horse chestnut trees and a play park. There is also a rath beside the bridge.[3]
History
Rory Maguire was a leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1641 in Fermanagh, and the burning of Lisnarick on 23 October 1641 was the signal for the rebellion to start.[4] Castle Archdale was also destroyed at the time.[2]
