a 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 trout; 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 Restoration. The linen manufacture is carried on here very extensively; and the town is a great thoroughfare, the turnpike road from Dublin to Belfast passing near it.
