  1. The Black Men

    Share Share Post
    About the time of the famine an army came to Dingle called the black men. They came in by the high road and killed nearly all the people in John Street and from there they raised their flags and marched round the town. Every man they met they killed him. It was in the Spa road they met a group of men with pikes and guns. After three hours of severe fighting the Black Men had killed the last man. After that they marched out of Dingle leaving a great number of people dead.
