Four thousand Irish corpses were counted on the field of battle.

A hundred and fifty lay in one small inclosure, a hundred and twenty in another.
But the slaughter had not been confined to the field of battle.

One who was there tells us that, from the top of the hill on which the Celtic camp had been pitched, he saw the country, to the distance of near four miles, white with the naked bodies of the slain.

The plain looked, he said, like an immense pasture covered by flocks of sheep.

As usual, different estimates were formed even by eyewitnesses.
