What is recorded here
Half a century after the blood was spilled, the people of North Wexford raised a limestone cross in Gorey to name the martyrs of 1798. They twisted rope details into the stone and set it on a granite pedestal, forcing the forgotten violence back into public memory. The monument still stands on a wedge-shaped street island, proving that ordinary citizens can carve grief into permanent shape when the state refuses to remember.
1798 Monument is recorded as a memorial in County Wexford. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
