    In the Araglen districy there are lisses in the following places.
    In Liss
    In Ballinamadough
    In Lyrebarry and
    In Lyreen.
    In Liss
    There is a great lios in Liss. This is how the townland got its name. It is about thirty feet in diameter. There is no opening in it.
    The owners do not plough around it. They would have bad luck if they did. Music and dancing is heard often in the liss.
