Questions about O'Connell Monument

Is O'Connell Monument on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated Regional (record 21517118).

Can you visit O'Connell Monument?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

When was O'Connell Monument built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1850–1860.

Is O'Connell Monument protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
