TEXT ON PICTURE:

LISBURN - LIOS NA GCEARBHACH. THE FORT OF THE GAMBLERS - A pamphlet published in 1691 thus sets forth the origin of the name, Lios na gcearbhach, "The Fort of the Gamblers"; - "We marched towards Lisburn, one of the prettiest towns in the North of Ireland. The Irish name is Lisnegarvah, which they tell me signifies (gamester's mount) for a little to the north-east of the town there is a mount moated about and another to the west. These were formerly surrounded with a great wood, and thither resorted all the Irish outlaws to play at cards and dice."
