Lisroughty

Lisroughty (from Irish Lios Robhartaigh, meaning ' 'The Ring-Fort of Robhartach', named after the large earthen fort in the north-west of the townland') is a townland in the civil parish of Drumreilly, Roman Catholic parish of Carrigallen, Carrigallen, County Leitrim, Ireland.

[3] The 1652 Commonwealth Survey lists the proprietor of the townland as Lt. Col. Berisforde and his tenants as Cormucke Modderha and M. Tihreeny.

[7] A grant dated 3 November 1666 was made by King Charles II of England to the aforesaid Sir Tristram Beresford, 1st Baronet which included, inter alia, Lisroarty containing 246 acres.

[11] The Tithe Applotment Books for 1827 spells the name as Lisroughty or Newtown and lists six tithepayers in the townland.

[13] The landlords of Lisroughty in the 19th century were Lord John Beresford (the Anglican Archbishop of Armagh) and Laurence Dolan.
