    Lisagoan:- My House District.
    My house is in the townland of Lisagoan in the Parish of Enniskeen in the Barony of Clankee. There are twenty families living in it. There are about ninety people living in it. Farrelly's are the most common name. The most of the houses are slated. The townland got its name "lios a gabain" from the fort of the Smiths. There are three or four people over seventy.
