In briefanswer capsule

Bywater, 1419, was the Shire’s last clash, the only one after Greenfields, 1147, up in Northfarthing. Seventy ruffians fell, twelve were captured; nineteen hobbits died, about thirty were hurt. Ruffian dead went into a disused sand hollow, later the Battle Pit; hobbit dead shared a hillside grave later given a stone and garden. The Red Book grants a chapter. Local annalists memorized a Roll headed by Meriadoc and Peregrin, Captains; the Cottons rose in repute.
