The cross known as the Market Cross (ME017-044001-) was situated at the junction of Market St. and Castle St., on the perimeter of the ecclesiastical enclosure (ME017-044025-) defining the monastic site of Ceanannus. However, it is not known if this was its original location since an inscription on the shaft says it was erected by Robert (Ba)lfe in 1688. Nevertheless Swan (1998) avers that it is a termon or boundary cross in its original position on the perimeter of the monastery. The cross was moved to its present position in front of the Court House between the Dublin and Headford roads in 2001 (King 2004; 2006) and erected correctly with what had been the S face now facing E. The Court House has been converted into an interpretive centre for the history of the town, but it is currently closed for conservation works.
