This is almost certainly the oldest Road Accident Memorial in the country. However, unlike Clogh 3 (1908) there isn't specific mention of a motoring accident, leaving a tiny chance that it could refer to an accident of some other description.
About a quarter of a mile east of the junction of the R755 with the R115
