    The 1798 Memorial is one of Waverley Cemetery’s most prominent landmarks, commemorating those who fought and suffered during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The memorial stands above the burial vault of Irish revolutionary leader Michael Dwyer and features a striking Celtic cross, white marble construction, bronze detailing, and Irish symbolic artwork. Its elevated position within the cemetery offers views across the surrounding grounds and coastline, making it a significant historical and cultural site.

    Access to the memorial is via Waverley Cemetery’s wide sealed roads and pathways. Visitors can approach and view the monument from the main cemetery routes without using steps, although some surrounding areas involve moderate slopes due to the cemetery’s hillside location. There is generally sufficient space around the memorial for wheelchair and mobility scooter users to manoeuvre comfortably.
