Liscarroll (Irish: Lios Cearúill, meaning "Carroll's ringfort") is a village in County Cork, Ireland The village is located on the R522 regional road near Mallow and Buttevant about two miles south of River Awbeg.
The remains of Liscarroll Castle, a large 13th-century Hiberno-Norman fortress, still tower over the village.
The castle is the subject of an 1854 poem by Callaghan Hartstonge Gayner which concludes:
Beneath its folds assemble now, and fight with might and main,
That grand old fight to make our land "A nation once again",
And falter not till alien rule in dark oblivion falls,
We’ll stand as freemen yet, beneath those old Liscarroll walls.
Also in the area is Liscarroll Fort, a ringfort some 30 m diameter which dates to between the 5th and 10th century. It is the burial place of almost twenty members of the FitzGerald/FitzPierce family killed in the Battle of Liscarroll in 1642.
I had a girl her name was Liezah
She had only one desire
To walk the cobbled streets alone
Heading anywhere but home
With Crowley as her close companion
His Diaries went hand in hand with
All the men that she has known
She leaves their silver but keeps their gold
So lawyers, doctors please beware
Of that girl with wavy hair
For she will cut you down to size
Reveal the truth behind your disguise
Liezah
Just passed by yer
Now you're standing
Empty handed
Liezah
Can't despise her
She'll change your look
She'll have you hooked
The city sleeps as she's arriving
Tongue tied and twisted was her timing
Her eyes glazed in deep despair
Those crocodile tears they don't care
Don't turn your back cos she'll be gone
Chasing shadows in the sun
All along the dusty road
Where she goes well we'll never know
And everytime I think of Liezah
I break down and I start crying
Although she tore me apart
There's still a place for that girl in my heart
Liezah
Just passed by yer
Now you're standing
Empty handed
Liezah
Can't despise her
She'll change your look
