defeated. Some rebel units managed to reform and the decision was made to head back to Wexford but the surviving column was intercepted and met final defeat on the evening of the same day at Ballyboghill (County Dublin). Perry probably lost contact with the main rebel force before the final battle and fled towards the west in the company of Fr. Mogue Kearns and others. They reached Edenderry in County Offaly before being captured by the local yeomanry and were both summarily hanged on 21 July. He and Kearns were buried together in the cemetery of Monasteries where a large Celtic cross now marks their grave. References Sources Anthony Perry profile, byrneperry.com; accessed 28 October 2015.
