The town of Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh is virtually destroyed by an accidental fire

June 2, 1705

An accidental fire devastates the town of Enniskillen, destroying a significant portion of the settlement:

- 114 families and their servants lose homes and property.
- The military barracks used by Her Majesty Queen Anne’s forces suffers great damage.
- The total estimated loss is substantial, though no precise figure survives.

This disaster marked one of the worst urban fires in Ulster during the early 18th century.
