Battle of Enniscorthy

The Battle of Enniscorthy was a land battle fought on 28 May 1798, during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. An overwhelming force of rebels assailed the town of Enniscorthy, County Wexford, which was defended only by a 300-strong garrison supported by loyalist civilians. On the previous day at nearby Oulart, several thousand rebels led by Father John Murphy had massacred a detachment of the North Cork militia, amounting to 110 officers and men.
