Possible birthplace of John Gaw (#123)

The red flower on this map indicates the location of Enniskillen. The name is from the Irish words Inis Ceithleann, which mean "Ceithlenn's Island." Cethlenn is a figure in Irish mythology who was wounded in battle by an arrow, attempted to swim across the River Erne, but never reached the other side.

Enniskillen is surrounded by the River Erne, and is a town and civil parish in County Fermanagh, Northern Island. At one time it was the seat of local government of the former Fermanagh District Council, and is the county town of Fermanagh, as well as its largest town.
