Harold's Cross, Dublin, County Dublin, Province of Leinster, Ireland

Notes:
Harold's Cross is an urban village and inner suburb on the south side of Dublin, Leinster, Ireland.



Its name may have been derived from the name given to a gallows, which had been placed where the current Harold's Cross Park is situated. Harold's Cross was the execution ground for the city of Dublin during the 18th century and earlier.



Another explanation is that it's derived from a stone cross that marked the boundary of lands held by the Danish Harold family of Rathfarnham in early medieval times, reputedly located at what is now the five-road Kenilworth junction on Harold's Cross Road.



In any event, the area has been recorded since at least the 1100s.
