Monuments commemorating County Cork's proud history
The sculpture commemorating the ancient river crossing at Innishannon, Co. Cork, known locally as Bóthairín an Átha (little road to the ford).
The diverse history of County Cork is a rich multilayered complex of remarkable people, culture and history all intertwined in the geographical landscape which has shaped this wonderful county.
This county has experienced freedom, invasion, wars, famine, agrarian agitation, and the war of independence followed by unfortunately, the consequences of civil war. The microcosm of its townland, cities, towns, and parochial villages are often brought into focus by the many monuments erected through this county revealing a rich tapestry of its influence upon the wider history and culture of Ireland.
