a fair and post town of Ireland, situated in the county of Down, and province of Ulster, 58 miles from Dublin. The name signifies the lake of the speckled trouts; and it was so called from a lake near it, which abounds with those fish. It consists of one broad street, at the end of which is the parish-church, said to have been built by Dr Taylor when bishop of Dromore, soon after the Reformation. The linen manufacture is carried on here very extensively; and the town is a great thoroughfare, the turnpike road from Dublin to Belfast passing through a red bog near it. The fairs are five in the year.
