      The Lebanon Memorial slabs in Collins. These were brought back from Lebanon AFAIK. I presume the others are in the other Bde HQs and if anybody on board knows where please let me know. I hope they've done a better job with them than this. This is a disgrace.

        There is a book I have seen detailing the locations of all known 1798 memorials, with quite a few pictures...here we are:

        Epitaph of 1798 : A Photographic Record of 1798 Memorials on the Island of Ireland and Beyond / William Murray
        Carrigbyrne Film Productions, 2001

        and a second edition:
        Epitaph of 1798 : a photographic record of 1798 memorials on the Island of Ireland and beyond
        Templenacroha : Carrigbyrne Films Productions Ltd., 2002

            Hi Groundhog
            Here in downtown Dunlavin, we have two, side by side, commemorating either 36 or 40 locals, who were or weren't Yeomen, who were executed on the green in the middle of the village.One lists all of their names and I suppose is the more definitive, by default. That has been recently refurbished.The 1798 Tournant graveyard is just outside the village, where the 40 are buried.

( 53°31'23.05"N 6°24'46.71"W) There is a Large Statue dedicated to Thomas Ashe and the People who died that Day. I have a long article about it somewhere, Must post it up. There's a lot of Forgotten history about this area of Fingal.

                  Well the action was carried out by the Fingal Volunteers and Fingal is traditionally bordered by the Tolka, The Delvin and the Hills west of Ashbourne.

                      I've seen the one in Dunlavin, unfortunately, always from military transport
                      travelling from the Curragh to the Glen. One day I'll travel myself and see that one.

                      Meanwhile this one is in Castlecomer Protestant Cemetery;
