What is recorded here

The Battle of Kilsallaghan was fought in 1642 between c. 2,000-3000 Insurgents led by Colonel Hugh Byrne and Government forces, approximately 2,800 strong under the command of the Earl of Ormond. Most of the fighting took place in the immediate vicinity of Kilsallaghan castle and the neighbouring churchyard of St. David's (Clinton 2005, 58-59).
