Kilnamartyra

OS Map Ref. W 265 736
Road: --- County Cork

Kilnamartyra is just off the main Macroom to Killarney road. The turn-off is signposted at Lissacreasig. This memorial to the local priest who died accidentally is .5 miles down an access road that leads off this road.
The entire inscription is in Gaelic since this is an Irish-speaking area.

[In Faithful Memory of
Father Denis O'Connor, Parish Priest
who died accidentally at this spot
10th March 1997]

10th March 1997 was a Monday

(I have only found one other memorial to a priest)
