Browne-Clayton Monument, Corinthian column monument in County Wexford, Ireland.
The 94-foot tall granite column stands on Carrigadaggan Hill, featuring a square pedestal base and an internal staircase to the capital point.
General Robert Browne-Clayton commissioned the monument in 1839 to honor Sir Ralph Abercromby, who died during the Egyptian campaign against Napoleon in 1801.
The structure represents an architectural connection between Ireland and ancient Egypt, replicating the design of a Roman victory column in Alexandria.
Visitors can access the monument from the N25 route between Wexford and New Ross, with a dedicated pathway leading from the public road.
The column contains the only internal staircase among all Corinthian monuments worldwide, allowing visitors to climb to the top for countryside views.
