Moyry Pass
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Moyry Pass is a geographical feature in Ireland. It is a mountain pass running through the Slieve Gullion between Newry and Dundalk. It is also known as the Gap of the North.[1]
The pass was of historical military importance as it controlled the route between Ulster and The Pale around Dublin. Moyry Castle was constructed to guard the pass. A number of battles have been fought in or around the pass including the Battle of Moyry Pass in 1600 and several engagements during the Williamite War in Ireland.
