Cross

According to D'Alton (1976, 381, 2nd ed) the cross of the Archbishop ofDublin stood in the middle of the road leading from Tallaght to Oldbawn. It was taken down in 1778 by Robert Fowler, the Archbishop of Dublin, who used it in the construction of a bath house (Handcock 1899, 22). This formerly lay midway along Friar's Walk (Handcock 1899, 35). The precise location of this monument is unknown. Compiled by Geraldine Stout

The market cross in Tallaght was built in the medieval period, likely during the 13th or 14th century, and was associated with the Archbishop of Dublin. It served as a prominent landmark and symbol of ecclesiastical authority in the area before being removed in 1778.
