- Lisnadurk is a townland and it is in the County Fermanagh. There is a drain and it seperates Fermanagh from Monaghan and there are two townlands Sandhills and Annagheane bordering it.
This is the description of it. It is hilly and there is a fort in it a standing stone and a flat stone beside it and the local people say that it is a grave.
When the Maguires were chiefs of Fermanagh and the McMahons chiefs of Monaghan they used to have feasts and they were held in the summer time here. There were a lot of boar's heads after the feasts and that is how Lisnadurk got it's name, the Fort of the Boar's Head.
