Description Lisanisk is situated on the outskirts of Carrickmacross and close to Lisanisk Lake. In the 1780s it was inhabited by Walter Dawson whose daughter Sarah married Archibald Hamilton Rowan. The Post Chaise Companion in the early 19th century records a Mr Gibson at Lisanisk while Lewis in the 1830s names Adam Gibson. Edward Gibson was the occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when the buildings were valued at £25 and held from the Marquess of Bath. The Patrician Brothers were occupying Lisanisk by 1911. This house was offering accommodation on a B&B basis in the 2010s.
