  1. Where Some '98 Battles Took Place

    Share Share Post
    One battle took place in
    Scallan's field in Mulgannon; also in
    Boxwell's field in Kerlogue; in Ballangone, Enniscorthy; and in the Bull-ring in Wexford.
    The greatest battle of them all took place in the mowen fields in Barony of Forth.
    Tanner and Davis were the two big leaders.
    There was a duel fight in a field in Bellmount and grass never grew on the spot. The spot is to be seen to the present day.
    In '98 a man by the name of Hempensal was walking in Newtown, near the THREE ROCKS, when he was killed by soldiers, who were hiding in a field near-by. They say he was a labourer.
