Adjacent to a road immediately N of Caherateemore crossroads. Well-preserved square mortared limestone pier (Wth 1.37m, H 3.5m) capped by a pyramidal top resting on a low plinth (Wth 3m max.). It is named 'Monument' on both the OS 1st ed. 6-inch map and the 1:2500 survey (1912-16) and was renamed 'Laghta Oliver Brown' on the following revision (surveyed 1925-31). The accompanying name book for the 1:2500 map series records that the monument, was erected to the memory of Oliver Brown who was killed off his horse at this spot in 1628. The plaque recording this has been removed and a rectangular recess at S marks its former position. (Alcock et al. 1999, no. 3611).
