Milligan Cross, Drumragh Graveyard, Blackfort Road, Omagh, Co Tyrone, BT78 1PR

Milligan Cross is a freestanding memorial erected around 1916, situated within a family plot in Drumragh Graveyard on the west side of Blackfort Road, Omagh. The memorial consists of a rockfaced granite plinth surmounted by a granite cross. The east elevation of the plinth bears an inscription in loving memory of Seaton F Milligan (MRIA, died 6th April 1916 aged 80 years) and his wife Charlotte Elizabeth (died 13th January 1916 aged 72 years), along with details of their children Charlotted Olivia Fox (died 25th March 1916 aged 52 years), Edward M Milligan, and Maud Milligan. A recessed panel at the centre of the cross contains a carved Celtic cross motif; the west elevation is blank.

The memorial is set within a family plot enclosed by low plinth walling with short square piers at the corners. To the right, the plinth wall is inscribed with 'George died in infancy, nurse Mary Walker died 1874'. At the front of the plot stands a memorial stone reading 'Alice L Milligan. She loved no other place but Ireland. Born Omagh September 1866 Died Omagh April 1953'. A broken headstone within the plot commemorates William H Milligan, dated 1905.

The plot occupies the south-west corner of Drumragh Graveyard, which contains a selection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century gravestones and memorials. The graveyard is bounded to the road at the east by rubble walling and accessed through square sandstone pillars supporting a pair of iron gates. To the south lies an old graveyard containing the ruins of Drumragh Church. The church, described in the OS Memoirs as having walls and gables still standing, dates to the early 17th century and was reportedly burned during Cromwell's time, rebuilt, and subsequently fell into ruin. The surviving walls are rectangular, with low side walls and both gables still extant, featuring double-chamfered window reveals. The church is a scheduled monument.

Seaton Milligan was an Omagh businessman and prominent member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland. His daughter Alice Milligan, also commemorated here, was a celebrated poet, playwright, novelist, Celtic scholar and Irish nationalist with connections to Roger Casement and W B Yeats. Her best-known work is the poem "When I was a Little Girl". The memorial thus serves as a historic link to the wider world of the Celtic Twilight movement.
