The Battle of the Diamond was a planned confrontation between the Catholic Defenders and the Protestant Peep o' Day Boys that took place on 21 September 1795 near Loughgall, County Armagh, Ireland.[1][2][3] The Peep o' Day Boys were the victors, killing some 6 Defenders, with some wounded Peep o day boys in return.[2][4] It led to the foundation of the Orange Order and the onset of "the Armagh outrages".[1][5][6][7]
