Dauntless Kelly stands seven feet tall on Mount Leinster, a giant carving that mocks ordinary human limits. The memorial marks every lost life from the Barony of Bantry during the 1798 Rebellion, turning forgotten death into visible pride. Kelly still commands the sky like a king, forcing witnesses to measure their own cowardice against his endless height.
In memory of all who died from the Barony of Bantry in the 1798 Rebellion. "Seven feet is his height, with some inches to spare, And he looks like a king in command!" "Glory O! to Mount Leinster's own darling and pride Dauntless Kelly, the Boy from Killan
