Soloheadbeg or Solloghodbeg ( /ˌsɒləˈhɛdbɛɡ/; from Irish: Sulchóid Bheag) is a small townland, some two miles outside Tipperary Town, near Limerick Junction railway station.
The place is steeped in Irish history, for it was here that King Mahon of Thomond and his brother Brian Ború defeated the Vikings at the Battle of Sulcoit in 968. It was also a stopping point by Dónal Cam O'Sullivan Bere, during his epic march from Dunboy Castle in west Cork to O'Rourke's Castle in Leitrim in 1603.
