    Many of the '98 insurgents camped in the woods and caves for safety. One of their principal hiding places was Ballinahallen Wood. It is situated about two miles from Enniscorthy, and three from Ferns. In this wood is a bank planted with hazel trees, on which are carved the long forgotten names of brave heroes.
