Situated in the parochial house, Moville for safe keeping. Small cross-slab, measuring 0.61m long by 0.15m widest. It tapers to 0.08m at the end. The cross is carved on the upper (wider) end and is 0.37m long x 0.14m across. It is a latin wheeled cross (raised). The shaft is 0.04m wide, while the top and arms 0.03m and 0.025m respectively. The wheel is 0.017m wide. There is a groove in the centre of the wheel which doubles at the 2 arms and top and extends down the shaft for a distance of 0.085m. This doubling at the arms top and shaft has the effecet of creating an inner cross which has an expanded (sq.) at the centre. There is some damage to the lower end of the shaft. The cross originally came from Glennagiveny (DG013-003002-) and was dug up from about 3ft under the soil (Donegal Archaeological Survey).
