The National Monuments Service's description
A stone cross marks the entrance to St. Doolaghs church and graveyard (DU015-009002-). In the late 18th century, when Austin Cooper visited the site, it was located in the graveyard (Price 1942, 70). It has very short arms and a triangular-shaped head (H 1.6m). It is set on a double-stepped pedestal immediately next to the Malahide road.
