Celtic Crosses in Dublin
Celtic crosses are found in nearly every town in Ireland Usually as part of a memorial. But I can't think of any in Dublin. Are there any freestanding celtic crosses in Dublin other than those in churchgrounds and cemetaries?

Re: Celtic Crosses in Dublin
There's one in Kiltiernan and another in Laughanstown. They're the only ones I can think of.

Re: Celtic Crosses in Dublin
This raises an issue we have all these architecture foundations/media outlets/public bodies but not one of them promotes indigenous architecture. So do we need another one?
Has indigenous Irish architecture been lost in modernity and part m?
Should 20% of all renovations/builds be indigenous?
expect more of the same...
Sorry is not good enough now that architects have access to 4 axis

One in Blackrock, Co. Dublin; marked the boundary of monastic lands. Was moved by a few metres some years ago to accomodate a new traffic plan. Another one in Foxrock / Loughlinstown is Tully Cross.

Sure wasn't Dublin a bit of a backwater
