He wore a mask like Castlereagh
Pale he was and very grim,
Forty bloodhounds followed him"
During the rebels campaign to take the town of Enniscorthy a man named Reynolds left his home in Monart and went to fight on Vinegar Hill. One morning the rebels saw Reynold looking over a wall. Suspecting him to be a spy they shot him. Next day his wife left her home and went to Vinegar Hill seeking her husband. When she found her husband she brought him home and buried him at Monart.
