- My father who is about 50 years of age told me the following about Gallow's Hill
Gallow's Hill is about half a mile outside Baltinglass between the railway line and a place called Banogues. There was a battle fought between the yeomen and the Catholics in the year 1798. The yeomen slaughtered the Catholics. They cut their heads off and, kicked them up the streets of Baltinglass and put their heads on the spikes of the grave-yard gate.It is also said that Michael Dwyer's comrades who were taken prisoners in Dernemuc were executed on Gallow's Hill.- Collector
