Abbeyleix South


OS Map Ref. R 2430.0 1830.0
Road: N8 County Laois

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.

Cast-iron cross, taken at night because I'd get my tail blown off by the daytime traffic!
In loving memory of
Patrick Ivers,
Bank Place, Cashel
who died 23rd January 1962
aged 31 years
RIP

Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on him.
