History of Lisdoonvarna


JuteVilla
The town takes its name from the Irish LiosDĂșinBhearna meaning the "liosdĂșin", or enclosured fort, of the gap ("bhearna"). It is believed that the fort referred to in this name is the green earthen fort of Lissateeaun (fort of the fairy hill), which lies 3 km to the north-east of the town, near the remains of a Norman-era castle.
