What is recorded here

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
