monument

Freestanding limestone monument, erected c.1945, comprising cross with foliated ends of arms having inscription at crossing, set on inscribed pedestal. Set on roughly dressed stone plinth and approached by flight of steps.

This limestone cross is erected in memory of James Foley and describes him as a local republican involved in the struggle for Irish Independence. The cross is finely carved with a detailed inscription at the base. Set in a rural area, it is a poignant reminder of the sacrifice and strife experienced throughout Ireland in the first decades of the twentieth century, before the foundation of the Free State.
