This cast-iron cross is a mile on the Cork side of the
Abbeyleix traffic lights. It is in front of a heavily-wooded part of the
roadside but it is not immediately spotted because it is only about 2 feet
high. Look on the right hand side of the road.
From Cork: As you approach Abbeyleix, be on the lookout as
soon as you see the traffic-calming signs in the distance. Look on the
left-hand side of the road. In loving memory
of
Patrick Ivers,
Bank Place, Cashel

She shall never grow
old,
as we are left grow old.
Age shall not weary her,
nor the years
condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
and at its rising,
we shall
remember her. |
