Marked on OS 6-inch maps 65m WNW of a church (GA016-013001-) and graveyard, this high cross now lies against the outer face of W wall of the latter (see GA016-013008- for present location). The original site appears to have been on the summit of a hillock (Topgr. Files, NMI) but this has since been quarried away. It consists of the unfinished head of a granite cross (Wth 1.2m, H 1.4m) some 0.25m in thickness. The short arms appear to spring from a small solid ring. Both the arms and shaft are decorated with volutes. One face bears the raised outline of a figure with a tilted head and drooping outstretched arms; evidently an unfinished figure of Christ. (Neary 1914, 125, no. 76; Crawford 1918, 176; O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 28; Higgins 1987, 278, P1. 46b; Harbison 1992, 9-10, no. 3) The cross is now affixed to the graveyard wall (pers. comm.
