	Battle of Vinegar Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The battle of Vinegar Hill was an engagement on 21st June 1798 between forces of the British Crown and Irish rebels when over 10,000 British soldiers launched an attack on Vinegar Hill outside Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, then the largest rebel camp and headquarters of the Wexford rebels.
		It marked a turning point in the Irish Rebellion of 1798 as it was the last attempt by the rebels to hold and defend ground against the British military and forced rebels to rely on tactics of mobile warfare for the remainder of the Wexford rebellion.
		The battle was actually fought in two locations, on Vinegar Hill itself and in the streets of nearby rebel-held Enniscorthy.

		The British victory at Vinegar Hill on 21st June had denied the rebels static bases of operation but had not finished the rebellion and at least three major columns of rebels were operating throughout the southeast, moving outwards from county Wexford in an effort to spread and revive the rebellion.
		Rebel scouts at the rear spotted the approaching British and a force of rebels then moved ahead of the main force to prepare an ambush at the townland of Ballyellis.
		The spot chosen was behind a curve in the road flanked by high ditches and estate walls; wagons were then placed on the road and access points cut into the ditches.

		I won't bother with a point-by-point rundown of all the references to major battles and military engagements to which the trio refer in "The Fighting Race," merely note that, in the passage to which Moore evidently referred, Howard would have well known that Vinegar Hill was the decisive battle of the 1798 United Irishmen rising.
		It's not at all hard to imagine the passage you cite (from "Rogues in the House"), describing the "Maze," as describing the back alleys of Cross Plains during the boom.
