Appraisal
This memorial, commemorating the 1798 Rebellion, forms a local landmark in the area. The cast-iron railings add to the composition of the memorial. The inscription reads: 'Erected by the Lord Edward branch of the '98 centenary committee to the memory fo the heroic dead of '98 and '67. Dr Michael Casey, D. Blake and the Unknown dead died for Ireland at Kilmallock March 6th 1867. William O'Sullivan, Patrick O'Riordan and Daniel Bradley were done to death in English prisons. RIP.'
