    Share Share Post
    One time the people of Fews were swapping cattle with the people of Kerry. They quarrelled over the cattle, and they decided to fight a battle. This was a terrible battle. Many people were killed in it, there were twenty one "John Power's" killed in this besides the others.
    These dead are buried in a borheen in Kilfown near "Mahon Bridge".
