The Land-War In Ireland (1870)

CHAPTER XI
30/55

There were counted on the field 3,243 of the Covenanters, and of the Catholics but 70 killed and 100 wounded.

Lord Ardes, and 21 Scottish officers, 32 standards, 1,500 draught horses, and all the guns and tents, were captured.

Monroe fled to Lisburn and thence to Carrickfergus, where he shut himself up till he could obtain reinforcements.

O'Neill forwarded the captured colours to the Nuncio at Limerick, by whom they were solemnly placed in the choir of St.Mary's Cathedral, and afterwards, at the request of Pope Innocent, sent to Rome.

The _Te Deum_ was chanted in the confederate capital; penitential psalms were sung in the northern fortresses.
