  1. Cnoc Eoghan Ruadh O'Neill, Ballycurra

    Share Share Post
    Cnoc Eóghan Ruadh is situated in the townland of Ballycurra, in the farm of Jack Dunican, in the parish of Ballymore and is about two miles South-West of the village.
    The great Eoghan Ruadh Ó'Néill and his soldiers crossed the Inny and came to Ballymore. The English were in Ballymore but they fled to Cnóc Eoghan Ruadh. A battle took place there and Eoghan Ruadh was victorious. This happened in the year 1648. This field was ploughed some years ago and bones and bullets were found in the clay.
