What is recorded here

Unlocated named bush within townland that is described in The History of Queens County as 'An aged whitethorn, called by some 'the Monument' by others 'the Priests Bush' marks the spot empurpled by the martyred soggarth's blood. The date of this murder lies somewhere between 1660 and 1700' (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 2, 573). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007

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.
