• doctorbob said:

  The obelix is a reminder of the Battle of the Boyne, the most important skirmish that has taken place on Irish soil. Today there is a visitor centre and people of all political persuasions are welcome to celebrate or mourn the results of this bloody event.

• Kristi (LOC P&P) said:

  doctorbob: Thanks for the additional details about this image. We will expand the description!

• polarmatrix said:

  wasn't the obelix built before the battle????

• Greg said:

  The original obelisk, seen here, built as a monument to the battle, was later destroyed. There is a movement to build a new one: www.grandorangelodge.co.uk/press/PressReleases-2009/09052...

  It's in Newry. Streetview

  This one reminds me of Warrenpoint or somewhere round that neck of the woods.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Sharon Corbet I think you have it. I see from your streetview that the obelisk is in Corry park.
