Description
Freestanding carved limestone Celtic Revival high cross, erected c.1945, with stepped limestone base and plinth. Interlacing strapwork to cross and Celtic lettering to base and plinth. Surrounded by rendered walls, with square profile piers and railing set on plinth to north elevation.
Appraisal
This monument records the killing during the War of Independence of two young brothers, Cornelius and Jeremiah Delaney, who lived on a farm at Dublin Hill. The stonework is skilfully executed with the interlace and lettering adding artistic merit. The monument is an important landmark in the local area.
