Steine of Dublin

[3] The stone gave its name to the surrounding area and the nearby stein river as well as a local pub.

[citation needed] The use of the original stone is uncertain although it certainly acted as a general focal point and territory marker for the taking or retaking of Dublin.

Its whereabouts are unknown as of 2024 although it is likely it is still extant in the general Dublin area as an architectural feature or used as a building material.

A memorial sculpture to the surgeon Sir Philip Crampton by Joseph Kirk was later erected near the site in 1862 and existed until 1959 when it partially collapsed and then was destroyed as part of road widening works.

[12] A replacement 11 foot tall stein or sculptural pillar made of granite was erected on College Street, Dublin in 1986 near the site of the Crampton Memorial.
