Enniscrone – also spelt Inniscrone and officially named Inishcrone (Irish: Inis Crabhann)[2] – is a small seaside town in County Sligo, Ireland.

[4] Carrowhubbock South townland (from Irish Ceathrú Hobac, meaning 'Hobuck's Quarter')[5] is approximately 2.3 square kilometres (0.9 sq mi) in area and spans much of the centre and north of the town.

[6] Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of ringfort sites in the townlands of Muckduff, Frankford, and Carrowhubbock North and South.

[13] There were no casualties in the attack, in which a small garrison of British Royal Marines were forced to surrender the building, arms and ammunition.

[19] As of 2018, local man David McGowan had begun construction of a "glamping" village, with the main focus being the Boeing 767 he bought to convert into accommodation.

[20][21][22] Enniscrone's public sandy beach stretches over a long area of shoreline, and is split near the lower part of the village by a small crossable river.
