- (continued from previous page)glorious victory of a half an hour before was turned into a disgraceful route.
Taffe they say was the first to fly but Mc Allister and his faithful band bravely held their ground. Surrounded on all sides and hopelessly outnumbered, the leader and his men at length yielded up their swords. They did not know the blood-thirsty Inchiquin, when he had them all disarmed and helpless he ordered them all to be butchered.
The bones of more than four thousand men for many a year bleached here on the hillside.
Some persons removed the remains of these men to Buttevant Abbey where they are still to be seen.
