Battle site
Sruthair ("stream") was identified as Abbeyshrule, near the Inny, in County Longford by O'Donovan. He considered this the first direct evidence of Ui Briuin expansionism east of the River Shannon.Шаблон:Sfn However Eoin MacNeill said "sruthair" was a common place name, Abbeyshrule was "too far south", and another 'Sruthair' was north-west in the barony of Moydow.Шаблон:Sfn Mac Neill noted Shrule, near Lough Mask, in County Mayo could be the battle site. Walsh agrees.Шаблон:Sfn Both Ui Briuin and Conmaicne were settled in Connacht.Шаблон:Sfn The battle marks an Ui Briun expansion to the west. "Sruthair", now Shrule, was part of, or adjacent with, the tuath of Conmhaícne Cúile Tuireadh in Mayo. [1]
