  1. Battlefields

    Share Share Post
    It is generally believed in this district by everyone living in it, that a battle was fought in a field close to the road now belonging to Mr. George Mordaunt, Curraghlawn, Kilpipe Parish about four miles from Aughrim
    I cannot get any information as to what period this battle was fought in some people telling me they think it was 1798
    In Hollyfort Parish, Co. Wexford another battle was fought on the farm belonging to Mr. W. Kidd.
    Cannon balls are said to have been found there and on the same farm part of an ancient corn mill
