Mitchelstown North
OS Map Ref. R 1825.0 1140.0
Road: N8 County Cork

Unlike the other four monuments near Mitchelstown, this one is north of the town. One mile from the turn-off for Limerick, as you to towards Dublin, is Corracunna cross. There are two memorials here, but the left-hand one is a memorial to two victims of the British Army.
