an enclosure, a garden, or a fort. In Ireland it generally meant originally a place enclosed with a circular entrenchment, for the purpose of shelter and safety, and is often translated by the Lat. _atrium_ (the entrance-room to a dwelling or temple). There are eleven places in Ireland called Lismore (the great enclosure); Lismore also in Argyleshire; Listowel (Tuathal’s fort); Liscarrol (Carrol’s fort); Liscahane (Cathan’s fort); Lissan, Lissane, Lessany (the little fort); Ballylesson (the town of the little fort); Lisclogher (stone fort); Lislevane (the fort of the elm); Lismullin (of the mill); Lisnadarragh (of the oaks); Lisnaskea, _i.e._ _Lios-na-sceithe_ (of the bush); Lissard (high fort); Gortnalissa (the field of the fort); Lisbellaw, _i.e._ _Lios-bel-atha_ (the fort at the ford mouth); Dunluce (strong fort); Thurles, Co. Tipperary, from _Durlas_ (strong fort); Rathurles (the rath of the strong fort)--all in Ireland; Liskard or Liskeard (the enclosure on the height), in Cornwall and Cheshire; Lostwithel, in Cornwall, _i.e._ _Les-vthiel_ (the lofty palace), one of the ancient seats of the Duke of Cornwall; Lesmahago, in Lanarkshire, Lat. _Ecclesia-Machute_ (the enclosure or church of St. Machute); Lesneven, in Brittany, _i.e._ _Les-an-Evan_ (the enclosure or palace of Evan, Count of Leon); Leslie, in Fife (the enclosure on the R. Leven); Lessudden or St. Boswell’s, in Roxburghshire, bears the first name from Aidan, the Bishop of Lindesfarne, who is said to have lived there; and its second name from Boisel, a disciple of St. Cuthbert. The Spanish _llosa_ is akin to the Celtic _lios_, as in Lliosa-del-Obispo (the bishop’s enclosure).
