Lisnaskea (from Irish Lios na Scéithe, meaning 'fort of the shield')[1] is the second-biggest settlement in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

North of the village, in the townland of Cornashee,[1] is a large burial mound within a round enclosure, which is a scheduled monument.

[14] 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 to the south of Lisnaskea purchased from Lord Erne to accommodate 500 inmates, the first of whom were received on 25 February 1843.

[4] In July 2011, part of the upper floor of the building was completely gutted in a fire, believed to be malicious.

Lisnaskea Emmetts over the years have had clubmen involved in the Fermanagh GAA and Ulster Railway Cup team.
