The Cross "newly built" looking southeast with the River Suir and the Knockmealdown Mountains in the background. To the left of the nearest house is a sandpit. Some years ago workers raising sand discovered an old lime kiln. The surrounding townsland is known as Spitalands so named because some kind of fever hospital was operating here during the famine years. It has been suggested that the lime kiln was built to burn the bodies of fever victims.
