D'Ufford sent his deputy across the River Shannon to join his ally, Walter de Burgh, 1st Earl of Ulster.

Connellan states "Moy-Nisse was a district along the Shannon in the county of Leitrim, near Carrick-on-Shannon; and the events here narrated occurred about that place".

[3] Places corrupted as "Ath an Chip" and all variants were a ford marked by a large tree stump.

[7][8] At Leitrim village the R284 road crosses the Shannon at "Battle-bridge" (Irish: Béal Átha an Chatha, "the ford/mouth of the battle").

[7][9] The townland at this bridge is Drumhierney (Irish: Droim Thiarnaigh, meaning the ridge of the "master", "lord", or "the domination").

[citation needed] The death in Galway of de Burgh in 1271 ended all effective resistance to Aedh's rule in Connacht.
