Four bronze wolfhounds guard monument commemorating events of a century ago
The Liam Lynch monument in the Knockmealdown Mountains. Liam Lynch (Nov 20, 1892 — April 10, 1923)
It is one of the most eye-catching monuments in the Irish uplands.
Located on Crohan Hill in the Knockmealdown Mountains, it consists of an impressive 20-metre-high round tower that evocates Ireland’s early Christian period. Guarded by four bronze wolfhounds, it has been a familiar sight to generations of ramblers, since it is located on both the East Munster Way and St Declan’s Way.
