- Local Monuments.There is a huge monument in Fethard: This was erected at the cross of Fethard in memory of fourteen men who were drowned. One day they went out in the life-boat, but suddenly a great storm arose and they were all lost/ There is another great monument erected in Ramsgrange in memory of Father Doyle.
