Lisbane

The Old Post Office at Lisbane

Lisbane is a small village and townland in the parish of Tullynakill and the barony of Castlereagh Lower[1] in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is between Balloo and Comber on the A22 road, 5 kilometres south-east of Comber.[1] It is near Strangford Lough in the Ards and North Down Borough Council.

Lisbane had a population of 430 people in the 2011 Census.[2]

The name Lisbane is from the Irish An Lios Bán, meaning 'the white ringfort'. No white fort exists there now.[1] There are ten other Irish townlands named Lisbane, four of them in County Down,[3][4] including one near Bangor.[5] Although the village is Lisbane, much of the village is situated within the townland of Lisbarnet. The townland of Lisbane is closer to Strangford Lough.
