Ballinamuck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ballinamuck (Irish: Béal Átha na Muc) is a small village in North Longford.
It was the scene of the Battle of Ballinamuck, where a French army aiding the United Irishmen rebellion of 1798 was defeated.
The prisoners were taken to St Johnstown - today's Ballinalee - where they were executed in what is known locally as Bullys Acre and buried there.
