What is recorded here

D'Alton (1838, 382) records the tradition that there was a market cross, taken down in 1778 by Robert Fowler, the then archbishop of Dublin, who used it in the construction of a bath house(Handcock 1899, 22). It was later removed from this position and Handcock (1899, 35) records that the recovered fragments were lying halk way up the friar's Walk'. There are no visible surface remains.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
