What is recorded here
Hardiman's map of Limerick (c. 1590 AD) shown the 'steps and shaft of a cross on the south side of the cathedral [LI005-017015-]' (O'Flaherty 2010, 2) which may be the market cross referred to in 13th century documents (ibid.).
The market cross in Limerick City, Englishtown, was likely built in the 13th century and is mentioned in contemporary documents, though its builder is not recorded. It may have served both as a market site and a religious symbol, reflecting the medieval urban and ecclesiastical landscape of Limerick.
