    Sarsfield, when retreating after the battle of Aughrin, passed with half a mile of Laurencetown.

    Sarsfield, when retreating after the 'Battle of Aughrim' passed within half a mile of Laurencetown. A man - Pat Kelly - is able to trace the way he passed, near Ochil and through Belview on to Limerick.
    We have two bullets which were fired at the battle of Aughrim. They were found by a man recently while digging his field, which is near the hill of Aughrim. This man gave them to his nephew, Thomas Dolan, Sycamore Hill, Laurencetown, who brought them to the school.
