What is recorded here

The Ordnance Survey Letters (1838-40) record that 'about a furlong north of this Green on the old road from (to) Kilmacannoge, on the Kilmurry side of the Stream that separates these two townlands, they show a spot on which stood a stone cross formerly, but at what time no one remembers. Opposite to this spot on the new road stands a stone with a s small cross cut in it; cut and put up there when the new road was made for the purpose of keeping up the old custom of laying down the corpses when going to be buried' (O'Flanagan 1928, 19). The exact location of this is not known. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 05 February 2013
