Liscannor (Irish: Lios Ceannúir, meaning "ringfort of Ceannúr") is a small coastal village in County Clare.
Situated on the west coast of Ireland, on Liscannor Bay, the village is located on the R478 road between Lahinch, to the east, and Doolin, to the north.
The Cliffs of Moher are about 5 km (3.1 mi) west of the village.
History: At least 30 ships of Philip of Spain’s mighty armada, sent to invade England in the summer of 1588, perished along the coast of Ireland, mainly along the western seaboard.
The oar-powered galleass Zuņiga anchored off-shore at Liscannor with a broken rudder, having found a gap in the Cliffs of Moher.
The ship came under surveillance by the sheriff of Clare and by crown forces and had to withdraw to their ship.
One captive was taken and sent for interrogation.
The Zuņiga escaped the coast with favorable winds, moored at le Havre, and finally made it home to Naples in the following year.
