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.

It doesn't appear to commemorate anything, though it does tell the time.
