The bronze and stone sculpture by Fred Conlon called Faoin Sceach (Freen Skack, Under the Hawthorn). Conlon wrote this desciption of Faoin Sceach: This Bronze Tree stands as a symbol of dignity. It marks the final resting-place of the unnamed dead of this area who perished in the Great Famine of 1845-1847. An Gorta Mor (The Great Hunger) was like a never-ending winter. Its chill of desolation brought hunger, disease, and death. In Irelend the lone tree or Sceach was held in a position of high importance from early Celtic mythology to recent times. The boulder stones surrounding the base allude to ancient forms of burial.
