The National Monuments Service's description
Standing in the graveyard at Dysert O’Dea (CL025-091002-), some 16m S of the church (CL025-091001-). Named ‘Cross’ on the 1920 OS 6-inch map. A small rudely carved cross (H 0.68m) with a circular head and very short arms (0.02-0.03m) on a shaft that widens towards the base. The cross leans to NW and is thicker at the top (T 0.14m) than at the base (Wth 0.1m). A small finial feature with double gables is carved at the top. There are no visible carvings or inscription. (Ua Cróinín 1992, 116)
