What is recorded here

Freestanding limestone monument, erected c. 1930, comprising Celtic style cross with inscribed plaque, rectangular-plan plinth and concrete base.
Situated at a main junction, this monument serves as a focal point in the town. It commemorates the death of a local IRA man in the War of Independence. The Celtic style cross is enlivened by interwoven designs which adds artistic interest to the monument. The inscription reads: 'In loving memory of Hugh O'Donnell, Oola Company 1st Batt. East Limerick Brigade I.R.A. Killed in action in defence of the Irish Republic at Ballintubber, Kilfinane. 7th December 1922. May he rest in peace.'
