Historic sites in Cong and The Neale from Irish Tourist Association Survey, 1945
This section deals mainly with a discussion on the merits or otherwise of claims by Sir William Wilde that the Battle of Moytura took place in the Cong and The Neale area. The surveyor admits that there is evidence in the area of a battle having taken place at some stage but that from the manuscript sources the battle of Moytura took place in Sligo. There is also brief mention of a hedge school under one of the arches of Cong Bridge.
