    An Old Tale
    According to local tradition a great battle was fought at an old bridge in the Pound borheen near Durrow called "Augh Loum Liinn". That Oscar was supposed to have defeated his foe.
    When the battle was fought and won an old writer composed the following verse:
    "At Augh Loum Linn
    That famous bridge
    Where Oscar's sword of might
    Hewed down the foe
    Long years ago
    In fierce and deadly fight."
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
