Full archaeological record 81 words
Not marked on 1842 and 1906 OS 6-inch maps. On N bank of Awbeg River; site of battlefield (14695) on S bank. Site inaccessible owing to dense overgrowth. Probably well referred to by Jones (1902, 237) as 'Tubber Brawka' where, after a battle 'about the time of the Christian era the Druids of the Irish army immersed the wounded and washed their wounds in its waters which had such a miraculous effect that they were in perfect health the next day'.
