- Between Cabinteely and Carrickmines inland there is a Celtic cross known to everyone as Tulla Cross. There are five steps going up to it, and a larger one at the end. They are very rough. On the large stone on which the cross stands there is a cross cut, and on one side of the same stone there is a grey stone slab on which is writtenInscribed

Celtic cross

About a yard and a half away from it there is a track in the grass right round the cross; probably what caused that was the people doing the round of the cross.(continues on next page)
