Faughart
Faughart is a town in County Louth, Ireland, situated 3 km north of Dundalk and 6 km south of Forkill. It was the birthplace of St. Brigid (450), and Edward Bruce is buried in the graveyard on the hill above the town (54°03′06″N 6°23′03″W / 54.0516226°N 6.3842583°W). Bruce, who had taken the title King of Ireland, was defeated and killed at the Battle of Faughart in 1318.
Standing at the southern end of the Gap of the North/Moyry Pass Faughart (also written 'Fochart') held huge strategic importance for many centuries and was the scene of many battles; one such legendary battle was fought by Cú Chulainn in the Táin.
Landmarks include St. Brigid's stone and pillar, her shrine and well, and modern religious sites devoted to the saint that attract thousands of pilgrims and tourists, which is a massive boost to the local economy.
A battle was fought at Faughart by Cormac Ulfada, High King of Ireland, against Storno (Starno), king of Lochlin.
The date of 732, or alternatively 735, is given for the Battle of Fochart between Áed Allán, king of Ireland, and Áed Róin, king of Ulaid. Áed Róin and Conchad mac Cúanach of Uí Echach Cobo were slain, with Áed Róin being decapitated on the Cloch an Commaigh (Stone of Decapitation) located near the door of the old church of Faughart. This conflict arose as a result of a request by Bishop Congus. The Annals of the Four Masters give the story as follows under the year 732:
