What is recorded here

Lissaghanedan is an unclassified castle in County Longford, Ireland. Its castle, town and lands appeared in a 1620 grant to Gerald Nugent during the Plantation of Longford, yet the site remains unlocated. The name resists easy mapping, preserving a lost settlement rather than a visible ruin.

Depicted on an early 17th-century map of Ardagh barony (BL, Cotton MS Augustus I.ii.25). A land grant to Gerald Nugent in 1620, as part of the Plantation of Longford, included the ‘castle, town and lands of Lissagheneden’ (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 468). Not located.
