| BOURNE OBELISK This striking but severe monument, commemorative of one of the most famous battles in history, stands on the Meath, or northern bank of the river Boybe, four miles west of Drogheda and near the storied ford of "Oldbridge Town." It is said to mark the spot where the Marshal Duke of Schomberg, commanding for King William, was killed by a party of Irish dragoons while forcing the passage of the river. |
