The cross was erected in the Holy Year of 1950, on top of Cnoc a’ Chomortais in the Comeragh mountains. Many walkers come here throughout the year because the vantage point is excellent, offering views over Clonmel below, across the Suir valley and over to Slievenamon and beyond. Others make the journey to complete the Stations of the Cross, which were installed here in 1953 after being donated by local families. The Cross is also a fine running target, although the steep climb from Clonmel is quite demanding.

The Holy Year Cross was erected in 1950 and is an important monument for those completing the annual pilgrimage. It's a beautiful spot that provides stunning views of Clonmel and the River Suir valley.
