Lislea
54°09′32″N 6°27′29″W / 54.159°N 6.458°W
Lislea (/lɪsˈleɪ/ liss-LAY, from Irish Lios Liath, meaning 'Grey Ringfort') is a small village and townland near Slieve Gullion in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It is within the civil parish of Killevy and the historic barony of Orior Upper. Today it is within the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area. It borders the townlands of Ballard, Carricnagalliagh, Aghmakane, Duburren and Drumilly. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 84 people.
Lislea, along with the rest of South Armagh, would have been transferred to the Irish Free State had the recommendations of the Irish Boundary Commission been enacted in 1925.
On 18 May 1984, two members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary were killed in a Provisional Irish Republican Army land mine attack.
At the centre of the village is the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart.
Ballykeel Dolmen, an ancient dolmen on the Ballykeel Road, lies just outside the village.
The Callan Valley river also flows through the heart of Lislea and is popular for its viewing points.
There is also the premises of the former Lislea School and Post Office, as well as the site of the former Lislea linen mill which was built by Thomas Wynne.[citation needed]
