What is recorded here
An early 17th-century wayside cross currently located in the square in Freshford (KK013-024004-). Prim (1850-51, 170) notes that the original position of the wayside cross was, ‘on the road-side between Freshford and Ballylarkan, near the back entrance to the demesne of Upper-Court; but the late Sir William Morres, caused it to be removed and re-erected in the village’. He notes that original location (c. 600m WSW of its current location), near the W end of Freshford was, ‘still called from this circumstance, in Irish, Bunn-na-Croise, or “the Foot of the Cross”' (ibid. 171). See KK13-024004- for a description of the cross.
