Phoenix Park hidden spot tells story of one of Ireland's most infamous murders

At 1,752 acres, the Phoenix Park in Dublin is the largest enclosed city park in Europe and is full of secret spots.

Hidden in plain sight, a small cross in the grass, tells the story of one of Ireland’s most infamous crimes of the 19th century known as The Phoenix Park Murders.

Cut into the grassy verge on the side of a busy road opposite Áras an Úachtaráin, the simple cross made with gravel stones has existed there for nearly 140 years.
