a town of Ireland, in the county of Wicklow, and province of Leinster, situated about 31 miles south-west of Wicklow.

in Galway; a small village, distant about 32 miles from Dublin, and rendered memorable by a decisive battle fought there, and at Kilcommodon-hill, the 12th of July 1691, between General Ginkel and Monsieur St Ruth, the commanders under King William III. and James II., when St Ruth, the general of the Irish army, with 7000 of his men, was slain; but of the English only 600. The victory was the more considerable, as the English army consisted of no more than 18,000 men; whereas the Irish were computed at 20,000 foot and 5000 horse and dragoons. They lost likewise nine pieces of brass cannon; all their ammunition, tents, and baggage; and most of their small arms, which they threw away to expedite their flight; with 11 standards, and 32 pair of colours.
